Meanwhile I dug a bit deeper into the problem and compared the postscript files generated by the squeeze and the wheezy versions of nted. In the wheezy version all characters from nted's special font /usr/share/nted/ntedfont.pfa are dropped by the postscript generator. In particular, not only note heads are missing but also clefs, signs, rests etc. The font itself isn't included either.
Also, I tried the squeeze nted executable in my wheezy installation: That one worked! This rules out any configuration issues as well as differences in the dynamic libraries, in particular, it probably has nothing to do with fontconfig, as I guessed. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
