Public bug reported:
By default, when the xscreensaver package is installed, the bitmapped
fonts it is programmed to use may not be present. In this case, any
missing fonts default to "fixed" and the result is a very small font
size on modern screens. The fonts xscreensaver daemon uses are part of
the "Helvetica" family. On a system lacking the correct fonts,
"xlsfonts -fn '*-helvetica-*'" results in no matches.
Adding the xfonts-100dpi or xfonts-75dpi packages fixes the problem with
the missing fonts in both xscreensaver daemon and the hacks that depend
on bitmapped fonts (e.g., memscroller), so adding these packages as
dependencies should improve users' experience with the packaged
xscreensaver.
