Yep. Debian GNU/Linux “stretch” 9.3. 
I’m curious to hear why they wouldn’t ship such styles… Thanks for the docs!
Well, back when I had those problems, this forum didn’t exist. I whined and fretted on IRC, but that didn’t do anyone any good. 
Now that there’s such a great community here, I may try my luck again next time I have that trouble! But obviously, a new thread would probably be a better place…
Thanks again!
