Where'd the fonts go?
I'm running Debian unstable and some time ago I lost most of my fonts.
I keep hoping that it was a bug in a package, but a lot of time has
passed and nothing has improved. I had a problem like this and the
problem was with my fonts.conf configuration, but when I check in
fonts.conf and local.conf, I see that the directories where fonts are
located are there. I just can't select them in Gnome or any
application. For example, I used to use Helvetica and doing a search I
can see helv###.pcf.gz in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi and
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts is listed in /etc/fonts/local.conf so why can't
I select Helvetica? Is there an X configuration setting I'm missing or
something? Any help would be very much appreciated.
