Public bug reported:

I installed ferret-vis, and started it with the command ferret_c.  Then
this happens:


yes? use levitus_climatology
yes? sh data
     currently SET data sets:
    1> /usr/share/ferret-vis/data/levitus_climatology.cdf  (default)
 name     title                             I         J         K         L
 TEMP     TEMPERATURE                      1:360     1:180     1:20      ...
 SALT     SALINITY                         1:360     1:180     1:20      ...
 
yes? shade salt[k=1]
           *** NOTE: Fonts directory is undefined. Check the Ferret environment.
 **ERROR: file undefined or not found: fondat.dat


Ferret crashes, I get returned to the bash prompt.  However, the file head 
${FER_FONTS}/fondat.dat is present and seems OK.  Therefore I did not expect 
this error message (and crash).

The problem does not occur when I download Ferret from the upstream
website and following http://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/Ferret/downloads
/ferret-installation-and-update-guide

I installed the latest ferret-vis from 'artful' but I'm using Ubuntu
16.04 (xenial).  The reason was this and other problems with previous
version (both installed from the official repositories on the respective
Debian and Ubuntu releases): https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=862932
