[Trisquel-users] I deleted Courier 10 Pitch, and broke FontForge
I no longer want the font Courier 10 Pitch, so I opened a file manager as root and deleted it from /usr/share/fonts. But now when I try to open a font in FontForge, the window briefly appears and then quits. When I went to the terminal from which I'd run gksu thunar, I noticed several messages like this: Help! Server claimed font -bitstream-courier 10 pitch-medium-r-normal--16-0-0-0-m-0-iso10646-1 existed in the font list, but when I asked for it there was nothing. I may crash soon. Segmentation fault How can I fix this? Where in the system is this command given, so that I can prevent this crash from occurring.

I think I figured it out. There's a file /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/fonts.dir. You need to edit this file, remove all the lines referring to Courier, and change the number at the top to the number of lines in the file minus one. It's not working yet, but I'll reboot and see if that's still the case.
