As Vincent pointed out in his reply [1] – I did not get being not
subscribed to the report –, it is Times that is missing and not Times
New Roman. Helvetica is still missing.

I checked again and current GIMP (2.6.8-3) does not display the missing
fonts either anymore.

So it looks like it is a problem with some font system. I compared gimp
and openoffice.org-core and they both depend on libfreetype6.

I could not find out what package installs the fonts Times and Helvetica
`xlsfonts` lists. Searching the Web I could not find it either. Could
anyone help, please?
