Thanks, Pete. I'll have time to get going on this later today, but  
the ugarite.map and allrunes.map are in the same directory: usr/local/ 
TeTex/share/texmf.local/fonts/map/dvips/. The runic fonts are suppose  
to use the postscript variants, but apparently aren't, however I know  
I'm using the commands correctly---it must be some other part of my  
code and I haven't the time to test at the moment and I don't have a  
great need to fix this problem immediately. Getting my installation  
in good shape is my first goal.
