After the last freetype2 update, on the 30th, Some of my fonts have gone 
screwy. Most annoying is Helvetica. In all of the font previews, in any KDE 
app that is, Helvetica characters just show up as empty blocks. More annoying 
is that Kongeror sees that it is installed and tries to display webpages in 
it, which are obviously unreadable.

I tries rebuilding fontconfig and xfree86, but that didn't change anything. 
Do 
I need to do something to rebuild these fonts? Is there a helvetica ttf I 
could use instead?

    An example with action overloading
      ==== begin atd ====
      #!/bin/bash
      PROGRAM=atd
      RUNLEVEL=3
      . /etc/init.d/smgl_init
      start() {
        # insert special handling of the start action here
      }
      ==== end atd ====

How does that work? The code that checks whether the argument is "start" is 
before "start" is redefined.

/etc/init.d/runlevel.[S1-6]/
  When installing an init-script it should be placed in the appropriate
  directory for the runlevel requested in the RUNLEVEL variable.

What happened to /etc/rc.d/rc[S0-6].d?

  Init-scripts must at the very least support the start and stop actions. The
  other actions which are specified in LSB are not required but strongly
  recommended.

I think "status" should be required, though for a few scripts (such as 
random) 
it is nonsense.

Hmm, perhaps random should return random status?
