Thanks for the help.
Looking at the corefonts and cabextract packages,
I was able to find out how to get around my problem.
There seems to be a limit to the path length.
This is good path:
# FONTDIR= "/usr/share/fonts/ms123456789 "
This is bad path:
# FONTDIR= "/usr/share/fonts/ms123456789X "
I am not sure why there is a length problem,
but, I will have to work on it.
