(Although not strictly about psnfss, this bug is probably the best place for archiving).

And antp - strangely the fd files are in tetex-extra, but the afm, tfm and pfb files are in -base.

Will you follow up on that, or should we just file a bug on gsfonts and wait whether anything happens? Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Inst. f. Biochemie der Univ. Zürich Debian Developer
