** Summary changed:

- xfig can't find fonts
+ xfig can't find fonts (urgent)

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xfig
  
  xfig installed under Ubuntu Dapper Flight 7 is unable to find installed
  X fonts.  The fonts are installed, and other programs (e.g. evince)
  aren't having this problem.  The program loads, but any time one tries
  to enter text in a file, a "font not found" dialog box appears.
+ 
+ The problem can be fixed temporarily for each gnome session by
+ executing the following script before envolikng xfig
+ 
+ #/bin/bash
+ sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
+ xset fp rehash
+ 
+ However, this is not a satisfactory long-term solution. xfig is heavily
+ used in academia, especially theoretical computer scientists. This bug
+ might make it impossible yo switch to Ubuntu entirely.
