I have recently upgraded to 0.28, and am having trouble with fonts in the Steppes theme. I am seeing the following error messages on startup of the frontend (one of each type for each of the themes Steppes is attempting to load):<br>

mythfontproperties is struggling with themes in both locations: the app directory and the .mythtv/themes directory.<br>
<br>
I have verified 1) the files are there and 2) they have world read permissions (as well as paths with world read and execute permissions).<br>
<br>
I do not see the same errors with other themes.<br>
<br>
Is anyone else having this problem with Steppes 0.28?<br>
