Hi,

I ran into this problem yesterday, but I had to ask our IT service for 
admin permissions before I could fiddle with my installation. Therefore 
your answer (and the OP's question) came in faster than I could even 
ask. This is just to confirm that your suggested changes fixed the 
problem here. Would it make sense to add a dependency on the fonts to 
the grace package?

regards,
Markus
