	# dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig
	Package `fontconfig' is not installed and no info is available.
	Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,
	and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.
	/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: fontconfig is not fully installed
	
	# dpkg-reconfigure defoma
	
	#

same font set available, no improvement. pooh.

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #66 from Will Trillich <will@serensoft.com>
:
Do you know WHICH SHELL YOU'RE RUNNING? If not, you can find out:
	ps T
and the first item listed is most likely to be your shell.
(Valid shells are listed in /etc/shells.) The default user shell
for Debian is bash, which you can learn about via "man bash".
