By the way, x-ttcidfont-conf depends on defoma. So all you need is # apt-get install x-ttcidfont-conf Also about nice set of free fonts # apt-get install ttf-bitstream-vera or # apt-get install ttf-freefont Just FYI to support CJK and other fonts: tfm-arphic-bsmi00lp, tfm-arphic-bkai00mp, tfm-arphic-gbsn00lp, tfm-arphic-gkai00mp, hbf-jfs56, hbf-cns40-b5, hbf-kanji48, ttf-baekmuk ttf-thryomanes I do not exactly know how they fit together but I have them all and can see all sorts of characters :-) For Japanese fonts, there is sticky problem right now. http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2003/debian-legal-200310/msg00142.html Osamu
