RH 8 font problem

[Aaron Grewell]

I never ran the 'setup' program, which may be why I don't have spadmin. 
On my installation, oopadmin is in /usr/bin.  So far it seems to work,
but I wonder if that's more luck than anything else.  I remember always
running setup to install OO stuff to my homedir when I did it manually,
but I assumed RH would have handled all that for me since it came with
the distro.  I have yet to run into problems, but I'll have to tuck that
away in my memory in case it turns out to be broken after all.
