I created the two files, but after I select the link and get the
message "Spawning external viewer", nothing happens.

Also, on the Sun I get warnings about not finding fonts whenever I
start up or change fonts.  (This is true of the old mosaic in the
fishwrap locker as well, btw.)  The fonts it actually uses look right
to me, though.

Thanks,
