python-report is not currently in K12LTSP, but it is in Fedora Extras.
All I have to do is grab a copy, throw it into the repository, and add a
dependency to the schoolbell package. No sweat.

I see in the config file that there is a sample entry for the MS
TrueType fonts. These are not installed by default on K12LTSP, they have
to be added after the install (this is one of the options in the "Add
Additional Software" icon on the root desktop).

I'll test this later, but might as well ask now. Are the MS TrueType
fonts required or will the X.org TrueType fonts be adequate?
