Bug#384346: fonts seem seriously broken
Moin Moin! In the meantime I run into a problem like the one, you all mentioned, myself (none of the Type1 fonts worked any longer). I digged into it some deeper and fount out that xfonts-scalable seems to be the problem. Version 1:1.0.0-4 of this package contained the file /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/fonts.dir instead of creating it in postinst and postrm, which resulted in the gsfonts-x11 fonts been removed from this file if you install gsfonts-x11 prior to xfonts-scalable. Version 1:1.0.0-5 of xfonts-scalable changed this behavior, which means that fonts.dir is no longer contained in the package (that's correct), but it still doesn't create this file using update-fonts-dir Type1 in postinst and postrm, so after upgrading xfonts-scalable to 1.0.0-5, the fonts.dir file is completely removed. This results in the X server ignoring /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1 completely, because it cannot use any font path without a fonts.dir. As a work around it should help to reinstall gsfonts-x11 apt-get --reinstall install gsfonts-x11 and adding /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1 to the middle of the font path again (or simply restarting X11, which will reuse this element of the font path). I submitted bug #399224 against xfonts-scalable, so I hope this will be solved soon. Please tell me, whether these tricks solve the problem on your systems of whether we still have another problem.

It behaves exactly like you said. I can use fonts just fine everywhere. It's only xfig causing problems. So I don't have an idea, what's going wrong on your system. I saw some other font related bug reports but all of them could be solved by fixing the font path. Your problem seems to be a new dimension, but as long as I cannot reproduce it, I cannot find a solution for it...

also sprach Roland Rosenfeld [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2006.09.09.1355 +0200]: Hmmm, that's really strange. Did you do a xset fp rehash (or a restart of your X server) after installing gsfonts-x11? Yes. Anyway, does xlsfonts -fn '-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--36-*-*-*-*-*-ISO8859-*' display fonts on your system? When I run this command with a size wildcard like this: xlsfonts -fn '-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-ISO8859-*' I only see some discrete sizes from the pixel fonts (8, 10, 11, 12, 14, 17, 18, 20, 24, 25, 38) but also some scalable fonts with size 0: -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--0-0-100-100-p-0-iso8859-1 -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--0-0-75-75-p-0-iso8859-1 I get pretty much the same output. As far as I can see this is the gsfonts-x11 font as well as the 100dpi and the 75dpi pixel font (both via the scalable font path line). But if I run xlsfonts with -fn and a concrete size, which isn't listed above, xlsfonts offers me this font too: $ xlsfonts -fn '-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--113-*-*-*-*-*-ISO8859-1' | uniq -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--113-818-100-100-p-0-iso8859-1 Maybe you can try to find out, whether/why this behaves different on your system.

I am almost sure this did not use to be the case. Please try whether installing gsfonts-x11 helps. But be careful with the order of your font path, you should have the unscaled pixel fonts first, after this the Type1 fonts (including gsfonts-x11) and the TTF fonts and as a last resort the scaled pixel fonts. If I understand the above output right, you neither have installed gsfonts-x11 to your font path nor do you have scaled pixel fonts (xfonts-75dpi and/or xfonts-100dpi) in your font path (for more information about font path order see /usr/share/doc/gsfonts-x11/README).
