For X11 in general, make sure that you have the xfonts-scalable installed or that you are running a truetype fontserver and have some truetype font sets installed. For gimp: look at the freefont and sharefont packages. The gimp package actually contains suggests: for these packages. Did you use dselect to install the gimp package? "Raw" apt-get ignores all recommends: and suggests:, but these are there for a reason. Use dselect. For the mozilla problem, configure it to use scalable fonts, and install scalable xfonts or install a truetype fontserver. Cheers, Joost
