I have submitted a bug report, anyway - then people can apply the patch
themselves, or if you happen to not be able to provide better packages,
someone else can step in.
So, now I can indeed process the file, and look at it.
It is rendered nicely in xdvi, and ttf2pk is called to succesfully
produce the glyphs, not gsftopk as in the original bug report. So this
seems to be fixed.
pdflatex in unstable (and thus in sarge) nicely includes the TTF fonts
in the pdf file.
With teTeX-3.0, there is a different bug (or it gets revealed by 3.0),
but in order to make the BTS easier to read, I'll submit a different one
for that.
Regards, Frank
