Typo, will fix myself.

Looking at the diff, this seems to address the bug. However, you removed
all references to XFree86 in README.Debian, but I'm not sure it's the
right thing to do. Are you sure it is already deprecated? I don't have
Xorg installed myself, not yet seeing the need for the switch. Since you
found the paths for Xorg, I assume it's installed on your machine, so
I'll let you do some tests with it before we upload.

I'd suggest:

 1. xlsfonts | grep "latin modern"

 2. xfontsel -pattern "-unregistered-latin modern roman-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-15" -scaled

    and click on pxlsz to increase the size.

 3. Same thing with:

      xfontsel -pattern "-unregistered-latin modern typewriter-medium-i-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-iso8859-15" -scaled

 4. xterm -fa "LMTypewriter10:style=Regular" -fs 10
    xterm -fa "LMTypewriter10:style=Italic"  -fs 10

 5. Start gucharmap, then:

      View -> By Unicode Block
      Select the block "Latin-1 Supplement"
      Select a few of the LM fonts
