I was able to solve the problem. 1) I found that
$ fc-match serif:lang=ja lohit_ta.ttf: "Lohit Tamil" "Regular" $ The Tamil fonts are included in "ttf-tamil-fonts", which was pulled in by "ttf-indic-fonts" as a dependency. 2) So I purged the Indic fonts: # aptitude --purge-unused purge ttf-tamil-fonts ttf-indic-fonts 3) Now, xdvi-ja started to report this error: $ xdvi-ja tmp FreeType2: Open Font Error (/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-tamil-fonts/lohit_ta.ttf). Error code = 1 4) So I updated: # update-vfontmap Then xdvi-ja started to work! 5) Finally, I installed the Indic fonts again: # aptitude install ttf-indic-fonts xdvi-ja continues to work! There must be some bug somewhere. I'm not familiar enough to the font system to point out where.
