I have no experience with that.
Hi, My Debian installation is currently broken so I can't log in there to look at the exact paths involved, but it's pretty much what is described in the top post here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1270870 pasted from the above page: * cd /etc/fonts/conf.d * rm 70-no-bitmaps.conf * ln -s ../conf.avail/70-yes-bitmaps.conf . * dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig * logout & restart X / gdm (e.g. reboot) * Choose font: Fixed Semicondensed 10 > Have you tried without xfonts-traditional ? It would be nice to > eliminate that variable. I initially tried with the font package whose name included someone's initials (might have been jdm or jmk - again, I can't check because my Debian installation is now broken). The problem existed with the Fixed [Misc] font from the jdm/jmk font pack (or whatever it was called) and it was only because I had the problem there that I tried the xfonts-traditional font pack, whereupon I ran into the same problem with the Fixed [Trad] font - in both cases, with Regular SemiCondensed size 10.
