I'm confused also. It must be my thinking along Linux lines: files
ending with .exe are not executables in Linux. That is why I stopped
when FontOOo wanted to download some fonts as *.exe files. However,
after reading your reply, I let FontOOo run to completion. I did this
using OOo 1.1.4. The fonts are now also available for 1.9.125 without
any additional work.
