gnome-terminal and sawfish were upgraded to the Gnome 2 versions, which
use a different font system.
You may need to create and /etc/pango/pangox.aliases if it doesn't
already exist. Something like this should suffice:
---- BEGIN /etc/pango/pangox.aliases
sans normal normal normal normal \
"-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"
sans italic normal normal normal \
"-*-helvetica-medium-o-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"
sans normal normal bold normal \
"-*-helvetica-bold-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"
sans italic normal bold normal \
"-*-helvetica-bold-o-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"
serif normal normal normal normal \
"-*-times-medium-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"
serif italic normal normal normal \
"-*-times-medium-i-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"
serif normal normal bold normal \
"-*-times-bold-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"
serif italic normal bold normal \
"-*-times-bold-i-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"
monospace normal normal normal normal \
"-*-courier-medium-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"
monospace italic normal normal normal \
"-*-courier-medium-i-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"
monospace normal normal bold normal \
"-*-courier-bold-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"
monospace italic normal bold normal \
"-*-courier-bold-i-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"
---- END /etc/pango/pangox.aliases
Alternately, you could let defoma manage pangox.aliases
(dpkg-reconfigure libpango1.0-common), but I personally don't like the
way it sets things up.
