I had the problem of constant complaints about an emtpy or near empty
/usr/share/fonts/fontmap file. I just fixed this tonight on my box :
You need to install text/gsfonts package. Then install the latest gnome-print
(0.9-1 since today), or if you already have 0.9-1 installed, then you need to
manually run the shell script /var/lib/dpkg/info/gnome-print.postinst
This script seems to generate the entries in the /usr/share/fonts directory,
and it must be run *after* the gsfonts are installed. It generates a fontmap
file which gnumeric / gnome-print don't take an instant dislike to.
Actually, I would call this a workaround rather than a fix, since I don't
see why the fonts already on my system (x11 fonts) aren't considered sufficient.
Also, I couldn't see any mention of this in any of the package docs.
But it's great to be able to play with my favourite spreadsheet again !
Regards,
Paul
