Well, that would be excellent from my point of view, of course. But my 
question is much more simple: I only want to know, where and when do I 
type "OSFONTDIR=..."?

I've read many times that in order to use it I need to "set it up", but 
I actually don't know what "set it up" means in this situation.

Thanks
