mathematica-fonts for Debian
-----------------------------

Installer of Mathematica Fonts.  It might help to use Mathematica from 
a remote terminal.

Important Note:
When one starts Mathematica from remote machine, one will see an error 
messages something as follows:

    xset:  bad font path element (#23), possible causes are:
    Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
    Directory missing fonts.dir
    Incorrect font server address or syntax

It seems Mathematica searches its fonts only in a predefined directory
so one might do the following steps.

1. mkdir -p /usr/local/Wolfram/Mathematica/7.0/SystemFiles/Fonts
2. ln -s /usr/share/fonts/type1/mathematica /usr/local/Wolfram/Mathematica/7.0/SystemFiles/Fonts/Type1

The directory depends on a version of Mathematica so please check
a directory structure of Mathematica on a server and change the above
directory correspondingly.
