Hi Adam,

That ice-9 stuff would appear to be part of both the guile-1.6-libs and the
1.4 version.  You may need to upgrade guile-1.6-libs and libguile-ltdl-1 to
get things moving.

Just quietly, as things get more and more complicated, a few debian
packages, at least in unstable, seem to lag a little wrt dependencies.
Occasionally you actually have to find out what the dependencies are  and
make sure you've got them yourself - then send of a message to the
maintainer if that fixes it up.

It's as if the maintainer isn't always totally on top of what versions
they're using of various libs. 

Should you do a dist-upgrade to get all these things sorted?

The discussion on the debianisation of guile and the load path matter starts
at:

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/guile/1999-01/msg00060.html

Glad you've got the internationalisation working. 

Nick

Debian doesn't use/need xfs by default.  I doubt you have a reason to
use it either.

Checking the X font server's configuration file in
/etc/X11/xfs/config I find I have no 'xfs' directory there.
However, 'find' tells me I have
./home/share/doc/xfs
./usr/share/doc/xfs
./usr/X11R6/bin/xfs
./etc/init.d/xfs
Could it just be a matter of

/usr/X11R6/bin:~$ cp xfs /etc/X11 ?

Yep, I've got xfonts-100dpi, xfonts-100dpi-transcoded, xfonts-75dpi, 
xfonts-75dpi-transcoded, 
xfonts-artwiz, xfonts-base, xfonts-base-transcoded ... as well as 
gsfonts-x11, and a few others.
That's not the problem. I'm a bit bemused by an apparently missing x 
font server in
/etc/X11 ... surely Debian (unstable) still uses it ?

OK then, I'm still guessing it's something boonky with your font
loading.  The list of available fonts is returned by xlsfonts.  Could
you try grepping that for helvetica and fixed, to make sure I'm right?
:-)

Also, what do the FontPath entries look like in the Files section of
your XF86Config?  And what modules are being loaded?

My generated XF86Config file included a font server, but I certainly
don't use one.  I think it's overkill if you're only serving them up to
the local machine.  The following works for me:

Section Files
FontPathunix/:7100# local font server
# if the local font server has problems, we can fall back on these
FontPath/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1
FontPath/usr/lib/X11/fonts/CID
FontPath/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo
FontPath/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc
FontPath/usr/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic
FontPath/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi
FontPath/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi
FontPath/usr/share/fonts/truetype
FontPath/usr/share/fonts/truetype/xfree86-nonfree
FontPath/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont
FontPath/usr/share/fonts/truetype/larabie-straight
