This problem is caused in Debian by a mismatch between the defoma setup and the Xfree86 setup. In XF86Config-4 there is a line Load "freetype". defoma must now also know that we are working with freetype (not xtt). This is set by running dpkg-reconfigure x-ttcidfonts-conf (as root) and setting the "backend" to freetype. Regads, Jan
