Unexpected loss of font (LucidaTypewriter) in Gnome under Lenny

[Diab Jerius <djerius@cfa.harvard.edu>]

For some time I've been using LucidaTypewriter in gnome-terminal.   I 
recently replaced my video card and something that I did (dpkg-
reconfigure on xserver-xorg or something else) caused GNOME apps to no 
longer see the Lucida Typewriter font.  For example, gnome-terminal no 
longer lists the font as being available, and it renders text using 
another font although its setting is for LucidaTypewriter.

I know that the font exists, as it is listed by xlsfonts and my xterm 
setup uses it.  Strangely enough, if I run gnome-terminal remotely on a 
host running etch, it uses the correct font and shows that it is 
available.  In my understanding of things, the server provides the font, 
so this mystifies me.

I have verified that the problem exists using the default gnome setup (I 
created a user with no previous gnome usage and saw the same problem).

Does anyone have an idea of what might have gone awry?

Thanks,

Diab
