Could it be that the deb package produced by alien does not update the X
server's font path?
Following the advice in the README file I initially installed the fonts
in /usr/local/lib/fonts/Mozilla from the tar ball and used
xset fp+ /usr/local/lib/fonts/Mozilla:unscaled
to make them available to Netscape. This would have to done each time X
is started so a more permanent solution would be to add the line
Fontpath "<your path to the mozilla-fonts>:unscaled"
to the "Files" section of /etc/X11/XF86Config. If you are using xfs to
serve fonts (which I don't) then you might have to add the font path to
/etc/X11/xfs/config.

Brian.
