Yes, I appreciated and downloaded the ttf-bitstream-vera for my stable distribution while reading your guide. I held off on installing it until I was sure that that is what I wanted to do. I did check the contents of the package and was thrown off by the issue mentioned below, that the fonts didn't install into /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType/ which, at the time, didn't seem to get me anywhere. > > > Looking at the "list of > > files", these seem to unpack into /usr/X11R6/X11/fonts/TrueType/ and > > /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ instead of into > > /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType/. > > Yes, x-ttcidfont symlinks the fonts into > /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType/, they still get > installed somewhere else. Ok, I'll go ahead and install the ttf-bitstream-vera mentioned above and see where that gets me.
