This isn't just a ttf-freefont problem -- none of the font packages, not xfonts-* nor ttf-* nor scripts like msttcorefonts, are adding themselves to the font list visible to X. Reassigning to fontconfig as a more general fonts-under-X package. ** Changed in: fontconfig (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename:

Strike that about xfonts-* packages -- they do work, it's just the ttf packages and msttcorefonts that don't. I've tried dpkg-reconfigure on several different font packages; on dpkg- reconfigure x-ttcidfont-conf, regardless of whether I choose freetype or xtt, it prints: Cleaning up category cmap

This problem has gotten worse with feisty, because kacpid and kacpid_notify aren't killable. I tried getting rid of /etc/init.d/acpid, and that stopped kacpi_notify from running, but kacpid was still there and still runs out of control whenever I run a long cpu-intensive process like a long compile
