( I pretty much use aptitude for installs and such. On occasion if I'm
in a hurry I'll purge using synaptic and may d a reinstall right away to
check to see if that would clear up a problem. Sometimes it does.)
It was also recommended that I send you this output from

I normally use apt-get or dpkg when I want to test a new version of the package,
and the output of the above command is attached to this message.

Hi Davide,
Thanks for the reply. I use aptitude because I think since Sarge it has
been recommended to use it as opposed to apt-get for normal upgrades. I
have read that it should be used as it gives better dependency
control. But I'm just a user going by what I read.
And I use "dist-upgrade" as I believe it is more inclusive of full
upgrade process. Anyway it's been recommended that it be used rather
than the "upgrade" command in order to try to keep current.
I do believe Synaptic does use apt-get, as it's package manager.
Anyway, your output was interesting but is there anything you want me to
do or check for you?
I don't know why I ended up with these two fonts hanging out there by
themselves. But they were giving me problems just after one of the
upgrades I did last week. I also don't know if it's a global problem
for everyone or if, for some reason, it only affected me. Let me know
if there is something I can do to help you out.
Thanks.
Whit
