  The asterisk means multiple suffixes. In this case, 1152a___.afm,
1152a___.inf, 1152a___.pfb, and 1152a___.pfm. I mistyped afm as atm.

  Well, I guess LO is different from other apps in that it cannot see fonts
in /usr/share/fonts, but does in ~/.fonts. Very strange. Regardless, I will
make softlinks in ~/.fonts to the directories in /usr/share/fonts.

Thanks,
