In my fumbling around I had installed unifont. But then I installed
yudit and learned that it could not find any unicode fonts. A peek at
the unifont.postinst script indicated that mkfontdir should have been
run, with some echoed output. I didn't see any echoed message when I
installed unifont so, 'which mkfontdir' and 'locate mkfontdir' treated
me to the charming insight that I had no mkfontdir installed. A quick
trip to Woody's Contents file brought me to install - apparently for
the first time - xutils. Then a simple
#/var/lib/dpkg/info/unifont.postinst
spit out the desired echoed output ("Adjusting font index in misc"),
and emacs in X loaded, finally, without complaining.
Shouldn't unifont depend on xutils?
Or, at the very least, shouldn't unifont.postinst echo something if
mkfontdir isn't found?
Or is there an overriding question as to why I was without xutils?
