Moin Moin! In the meantime I run into a problem like the one, you all mentioned, myself (none of the Type1 fonts worked any longer). I digged into it some deeper and fount out that xfonts-scalable seems to be the problem. Version 1:1.0.0-4 of this package contained the file /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/fonts.dir instead of creating it in postinst and postrm, which resulted in the gsfonts-x11 fonts been removed from this file if you install gsfonts-x11 prior to xfonts-scalable.
Version 1:1.0.0-5 of xfonts-scalable changed this behavior, which
means that fonts.dir is no longer contained in the package (that's
correct), but it still doesn't create this file using
update-fonts-dir Type1
in postinst and postrm, so after upgrading xfonts-scalable to 1.0.0-5,
the fonts.dir file is completely removed. This results in the X
server ignoring /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1 completely, because it
cannot use any font path without a fonts.dir.
As a work around it should help to reinstall gsfonts-x11
apt-get --reinstall install gsfonts-x11
and adding /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1 to the middle of the font path
again (or simply restarting X11, which will reuse this element of the
font path).
I submitted bug #399224 against xfonts-scalable, so I hope this will
be solved soon.
Please tell me, whether these tricks solve the problem on your
systems of whether we still have another problem.
Tschoeeee
Roland
