Hi Sami,

grace fonts are handled via defoma, the Debian font manager. Please
purge grace6

dpkg --purge grace6

and have a look in /usr/share/grace6/fonts/type1

if you still have some files there, they must some leftovers from other
installations which managed to escape the defoma management system. You
can remove those files safely and reinstall grace6.

If, however, the files are gone, it means that the fonts have been
removed from your system without unregistering them with defoma.
Try running /usr/bin/defoma-reconfigure . If grace6 is not installed at
this point in time, install it. It shouldn't matter whether you do it
before of after you have reconfigured defoma.

Good luck,
Ionut
