Bug#354017: Please include "fixed" in xfonts-base package description

[Andras Korn <korn-debbugs@chardonnay.math.bme.hu>]

Package: xfonts-base
Version: 6.8.99.900.dfsg.1-0pre1
Severity: minor

Hi,

currently it's difficult for someone with little knowledge of the Debian
package pool to find out what package is missing if an X server reports
"unable to open default font 'fixed'". It would be great if apt-cache search
could be used to discover xfonts-base.

The paragraph

 If you are not using a remote font server, you must install this package if
 you are installing an X server.  It contains fonts without which X servers
 will not work.

could be rephrased to read

 If you are not using a remote font server, you must install this package if
 you are installing an X server.  It contains fonts such as 'fixed' without
 which X servers will not work.

Andras
