Package: gv
Version: 1:3.7.1-1
Severity: normal

When I use gv to view a PostScript file I get the following warning
messages:

software@raven> gv x01c.psc
Warning: Cannot convert string 
"-*-Helvetica-Medium-R-Normal--*-140-*-*-P-*-ISO8859-1" to type FontStruct
Warning: Cannot convert string 
"-*-Helvetica-Medium-R-Normal--*-120-*-*-P-*-ISO8859-1" to type FontStruct
Warning: Cannot convert string 
"-*-Helvetica-Medium-R-Normal--*-100-*-*-P-*-ISO8859-1" to type FontStruct
Warning: Cannot convert string 
"-*-Helvetica-Bold-R-Normal--*-120-*-*-P-*-ISO8859-1" to type FontStruct

x01c.ps is one of the standard PostScript files produced by PLplot,
but the warnings happen for all of them.  I believe this must be a
fairly recent regression for Debian testing because I tend to use gv
extensively every month or so as part of a larger test project for
PLplot , and I have never noticed these warning messages before.

Google searches for these types of warning messages turned up rather
old advice to install xfonts-100dpi and gsfonts-x11.  I have
done that, but the warning messages persist.
