Right now I can't run xdvi at all without getting hundreds of error lines about duplicate entries in ps2pk.map. I remember I had this problem a year ago when I upgraded to Lenny.

That seemed like a good tip but it turns out those are completely different LM fonts. The LMTypewriter10 is a font that comes with the context pacakge. It's not the only one that's missing, either. There are all kinds of other fonts not recognized such as ZurichExBT and OldDreadfulNo7BT. > > I think I need to figure out the difference between fontinst and Defoma and how fonts are discovered by each.

Asking the TeX maintainers would probably be worth trying, since it sounds like something might be broken here. It sounds like whatever the cause is, it may have been broken since etch, so it might not be a bug in texlive or context. But it may also be unrelated and have broken with the upgrade to squeeze. I installed context myself, and I have /usr/share/texmf/fonts/truetype/hoekwater/lm/lmtypewriter10-regular.ttf It's not showing up with fc-list, even after running fc-cache as root. I think it's possibly a bug in context; or maybe in the defoma configuration that makes it look at TeX fonts: % rgrep texmf * conf.d/30-defoma.conf: <dir>/usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/public/lm</dir> conf.d/30-defoma.conf: <dir>/usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/public/tex-gyre</dir> This is part of fontconfig. But that doesn't explain how the lmodern and gyre truetype/opentype fonts get discovered (unless they don't and I'm using the type1 fonts unawares). I've CCd the TeX/context and fontconfig maintainers. To them: this problem is regarding the loss of the LMTypewriter10 font as both an X bitmap font and as a fontconfig-provided font as shown by fc-list following an upgrade to squeeze. When one installs the context package, the font does not show up. Actually, the bitmap fonts are available for me: % xlsfonts | grep 'latin.*modern.*typewriter.*iso8859-1$' | head -n 4 -unregistered-latin modern typewriter variable width-dark-o-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 -unregistered-latin modern typewriter variable width-dark-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 -unregistered-latin modern typewriter variable width-light-o-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 -unregistered-latin modern typewriter variable width-light-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 (34 separate fonts in total) But I have no clue as to where there are actually from; I'm not running xfstt, so I assume they are bitmaps(?), but I can't identify them in the filesystem to determine the package which provided them.
