Hi Eric,

I don't think so, since I did:
	for i in /usr/local/font-collection/......./* ; do ln -s $i . ; done

	reboot

	time ls -l >/dev/null

newly created entries shouldn't b fragmented, I guess.

I will investigate, but it is the first time I look into that so
if you have a link to quick howto, great, otherwise I read through
man pages ;-)

Best wishes

Norbert
