Package: xfonts-base
Version: 4.2.1-11
Severity: important

I am using Debian Sarge.  After an upgrade 29th september, I have got 
font problems with several programs (at least emacs, Adobe acroread, gv, 
xpdf).

For Emacs I managed to find a workaround that makes it usable, by 
specifying fonts in .Xresources for it.  The other programs give error 
messages, complaining about beeing unable to load ISO8859 fonts.  (As 
Emacs also did.)

I am not sure that xfonts-base is the right package to blaim.  According 
to the aptitude log, these are the packages that were upgraded before 
the problems arised:
