Hello Kai,

I am the maintainer of grace & grace6. Your problem is very similar to

http://bugs.debian.org/314923

Basically, some symlinks in /usr/share/grace/fonts/type1 were pointing
to unexisting files. The bad symlinks were caused by the package
ec-fonts-mftraced.  It looks like it has been fixed now, so simply
upgrading it might solve the problem.

Please tell me how things work.

Best regards,
Ionut

PS Please reinstall grace6 after upgrading ec-fonts-mftraced.
