Well, that sounds like a reasonable asssessment.  Unfortunately, I
cannot reproduce your problem here.  I'll need more information to get
to the bottom of this.

Hmm, it seems to be complaining that it can't find anything to use as
a Helvetica font for that document.  What happens if you do: 

  xlsfont | grep -i helvetica

Note that providing appropriate fonts is up to you.  Debian packages
cannot depend on particular fonts, because your Xserver and/or your
font server may be located on different machines.  Furthermore, there
is no way for Ted to know which fonts might be required, because those
are defined by the documents.  Hence, as I say, providing the fonts
you need is up to you.  However, if this is the problem, then I do
think that Ted could provide a more helpful error message!

If access to fonts is not the problem, then I'm really not sure what
to think.  In any case, please send me the output of the command
above.  That should at least give me a starting point.
