Followup-For: Bug #111342

hi

I tried this game, and could not use it, due to this bug.

Here are a few important facts:

--- fact 1

According to this command:

I have a quite reasonably complete set of fonts installed here,

Moreover, according to the command

$ xlsfonts -fn  '-misc-fixed-medium-*-normal-*-15-0-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1'
-misc-fixed-medium-o-normal--15-0-100-100-c-0-iso8859-1
-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--15-0-100-100-c-0-iso8859-1
-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--15-0-100-100-c-0-iso8859-1

my installed fonts can provide the required family.

--- fact 2

my X was automatically configured 

--- fact 3

this bug was reported 4 years ago and never fixed or addressed in any way

----

Truth is,  this game does not work in a standard Etch install ; for this
reason, I do not see it suitable for the Etch release: hence I am
upgrading this bug severity.


To correct this bug, 
-) either add dependency on a font package that is capable 
 of satisfying
-) or at least add an explanation somewhere on how to solve this
 problem : add some 'grep blahblah /etc/X11/xorg.conf'  in postinst,
 and/or a huge debconf warning, explaining what is needed
 to have it working
