adobe-helvetica-iso8859-1 shows empty character sized rectangles
Greetings,
I got this warning/error yesterday, during the latest upgrade:
Setting up xfonts-75dpi (4.1.0-1) ...
Running update-fonts-dir in 75dpi font directory...
/usr/bin/X11/mkfontdir: unable to process font
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/helvBO12.pcf.gz, skipping done.
Running update-fonts-alias in 75dpi font directory...done.
Before 4.1.0 upgrade:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/helvBO12.pcf.gz
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/helvBO12.pcf.gz
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/latin2/100dpi/helvBO12.pcf.gz
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/latin2/75dpi/helvBO12.pcf.gz
After 4.1.0 upgrade:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/helvBO12.pcf.gz
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/helvBO12-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/helvBO12.pcf.gz
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/helvBO12-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz
Started X and run xmms and netscape.
The menues in netscape showed only those rectangles I mentioned in the
subject, unreadable.
Is there a way to change the menu fonts, by the way?
The playlist in xmms was also unreadable. If I changed to another font
it looked ok.
Mozilla's menues were ok, but the text on the renderred pages showed
only those rectangles.
Anyone else seen this happening?
Today, after boot, everything seems ok.
I hope we will not have to reboot the boxes after package upgrades.
Some other "things" running on PCs do, but Debian did not use to.
Cheers,
Cristian
