Could it be that the deb package produced by alien does not update the X server's font path? Following the advice in the README file I initially installed the fonts in /usr/local/lib/fonts/Mozilla from the tar ball and used xset fp+ /usr/local/lib/fonts/Mozilla:unscaled to make them available to Netscape. This would have to done each time X is started so a more permanent solution would be to add the line Fontpath "<your path to the mozilla-fonts>:unscaled" to the "Files" section of /etc/X11/XF86Config. If you are using xfs to serve fonts (which I don't) then you might have to add the font path to /etc/X11/xfs/config. Regards, Brian. --
