These are the standard PDF fonts.  Ipe only needs them to correctly
display text when you explicitely use them in Latex, for instance
using \usepackage{times}.

See "install.txt" for a discussion on how to install them.  If you run
Ipe, check "Help->Preferences->Search paths" for the "Ipe data
directory".  The file "fontmap.xml" in that directory must be correct
(unless you have the environment variable IPEFONTMAP (or so) set).
Check that the paths in that file are correct.

There is, unfortunately, a really stupid bug in preview 13 that stops
Ipe from opening any document containing bitmaps.

I'll try to release preview 14 tonight, fixing this and a few other
bugs.
