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.. Cleaning up category cid.. Cleaning up category truetype.. Updating category truetype.. Updating category cid.. Updating category cmap opendir: No such file or directory I'm guessing this "No such file or directory" may be related to the ttf files not showing up. Searching on that, I found debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=437674 and indeed, the fix found in that file (replace the nonexistent path names with ones that actually exist) seems to cure the problem. Could hardy also take that fix? -- newly installed fonts don't show up in hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212669 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
