Mathematica font problem on debian ?

[Balbir Thomas <thomas.1037@osu.edu>]

hi
When I try to run mathematica on debian (potato with kernel 2.2.19) I get an
error stating that mathematica fonts are not properly installed. I have
added the mathematica font directory (i.e. subdirectories of 
/usr/local/mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts) to /etc/X11/XF86Config . On checking
which fonts are installed by "xlsfonts" I find the math fonts to be installed.
I even tried "xset fp+ ..." on the same font directories. In spite of all this 
I still get the error . Though as yet I have not been able to detect any font
problem if I continue to use mathematica, ignoring the error message. The 
error message reported by XFree86 is "can't load font taipei16". 
I have no clue what to do now . I would be grateful if you could give me 
a pointer.

Sincerely
b thomas
