Sounds like it's a file!
cd /usr/share/doc/libgnomeprint-data/
And there will hopefully be a file called run-gnome-font-install
But it doesn't exist on this computer. Anywhere.
So what distribution are you running Adam (stable, testing, unstable?)
My guess is that if you are currently running testing or above an update
will solve your problems. have you done a recent (as root):
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade -u
It may also be helpful to submit a bug report.
>From the changelog:
gnome-print (0.31-3) unstable; urgency=low
* debian/libgnomeprint-data.postinst install fontmap in
/usr/share/gnome/fonts * Change alias file for ghostscript fontmap in
run-gnome-font-install (Closes: #116969)
* Install a gnome-print.fontmap (Closes: #116208, #116244)
* Remove run-gnome-font-install
^^^^^^^^
It looks like my advice was out of date.

Adam
