Hi Thomas,

The version of gnucash that fixes this bug has reached testing now; however,
I'm concerned about the way you fixed it:

   * control (gnucash): Depend on dfontmgr, psfontmgr, x-ttcidfont-conf,
     and lmodern.  Thanks to Antony W. Serio ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) for
     the fix.  (Closes: #293798).

Why does any package need to depend on a GUI font management tool
(dfontmgr)?  I did have psfontmgr and x-ttcidfont-conf installed previously
here, and gnucash worked fine -- I did not have dfontmgr installed, and I
can't imagine any reason I should need it.  The gnucash package really
shouldn't be forcing its installation, AFAICT.

I'm also not sure what the lmodern font has to do with error messages about
-adobe-helvetica-, either, and I suspect this dependency is also spurious as
I did not have that font installed before.

Thanks,
