Okay, I installed this package (although my installation already had
the dc fonts). Still doesn't work, exact same error. It creates a
dc1000.mf file in /var/lib/texmf/fonts/source, but the texmf.cnf
doesn't point to this directory.
Worse, if modify texmf.cnf to add this dir to the search path for
metafont, metafont dies with an error (I believe 'value too large',
but I don't have access right now).
Could someone actually try to run the sample code I posted, and if it
actually works send me a dpkg -l so I can see what packages you have?
