I've renamed the offending files.  I expect no one 
is using Helvetica Narrow anyway.

In general p9p tries to accomodate the widest possible
number of systems -- these are the only files with 
case conflicts, I believe, so it is easier to work around
them than to force everyone to modify their system
configurations.

Please let me know if you run into any other case conflicts.
