No, Camaleón, you misunderstand.
My /etc/fonts/local.conf DOES have a path to /usr/local/share/fonts, which is the ONLY place where I place my "local" fonts (special fonts that I install myself).
The missing fonts in question are NOT local fonts. They are from various Debian packages. For instance, the fonts contained in the "context" package, and installed in the /usr/share/texmf/fonts/truetype/ directory. They're NOT local at all. And they used to work and be accessible in X. And then I went from Lenny to Squeeze and all of a sudden they are unknown to X. I'm trying to figure out how in the world I can get X (Defoma, etc) to see and recognize them!
Thanks everyone for continued help. I'm actually not a newbie, not by any means, but today I am feeling very overwhelmed with this. I've used Debian for a long long time and never had such upgrade problems. It's like my whole system is totally broken!
