Hi Andreas!

Yes, this is the reason. The TeX live packages do *not* provide fonts
for X of the lmodern fonts. This was due to outdated and incompatible
lmodern package (and orphaned) in Debian, so I kept the lmodern fonts
from TeX live.

We (teTeX and TeX live maintainers) are preparing a new upload of the
lmodern fonts, which will bring back full X/defoma support, and the next
incarnation of the TeX live packages will depend on the updated lmodern
fonts.

Best wishes

CORRIEDOO (n.)
The crucial moment of false recognition in a long passageway
encounter. Though both people are perfectly well aware that the other
is approaching, they must eventually pretend sudden recognition. They
now look up with a glassy smile, as if having spotted each other for
the first time, (and are particularly delighted to have done so)
shouting out 'Haal!' as if to say 'Good grief!! You!!
Here!! Of all people! Will I never. Coo. Stab me vitals, etc.'

Thats good to hear, however do you have any idea why the old defoma
config doesn't work for all lm-fonts that are installed? As I already
said, some (LMSans, LMRoman, LMTypeWriter) are listed after
incorporating the hints-file into defoma in fc-list but the LMSlanted
are missing. They are given in the defoma-hint-file and the font-files
are at the place mentioned in that file.

The file names of the fonts have changed.

lmodern in sid is 0.92
lmodern in TeX live is 0.99.3 (AFAIR)
new lmodern in sid will also be 0.99.3

 said, some (LMSans, LMRoman, LMTypeWriter) are listed after
 incorporating the hints-file into defoma in fc-list but the LMSlanted
 are missing. They are given in the defoma-hint-file and the font-files
 are at the place mentioned in that file.

The actual afm and pfb files are there? With the same names? Of the file
names and the FontName entry in the afm? 

To be honest, I have no idea what defoma etc does exactely, so I'm only
guessing.

Best wishes

Norbert

Might be, see below...

Yes. The same names, filenames.

 names and the FontName entry in the afm? 

And that's what is different, the afm-file which contained LMSlanted in
lmodern 0.92 is lmbxo10.afm, which now contains LMRoman10-BoldOblique. 

There is no file containing LMSlanted in the afm-dir.

Bug Roman10-DemiBoldItalic comes really close to what LMSlanted10 was
looking like, so I have my proper menus back. Thanks for the hints.
