Hello. I've just recently settled on stable, from sarge-testing, and
today my fonts got mangled: they are all much bigger than I would like,
and some seem to be missing. I really don't know what happened, as they
were all working last night, and I didn't make any changes between then
and now.
In an attempt to correct it, I tried to reconfigure xfs-xtt, and got
this error:
/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: xfs-xtt is broken or not fully installed
So I tried to remove it with:
$ apt-get -V -q -f remove xfs-xtt
Which produced this error:
Removing xfs-xtt ...
dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute pre-removal script: Exec format error
dpkg: error processing xfs-xtt (--remove):
subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 2
dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute post-installation script: Exec
format error
dpkg: error while cleaning up:
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
xfs-xtt
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I can't find a way to get past this (nor any instructions about what to
do at this point: I suspect this error isn't really supposed to
happen?). Is there a better method than using xfs-xtt? I can't find a
recent howto on setting up proper fonts under Debian: most are pre-woody.
Thanks for your help (Please CC: me in your reply)
John
