apt-get install gsfonts-x11 xfonts-scalable freefont it looks like all three of these packages install their fonts into /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/{Type1,Speedo} which is what the config settings seem to expect. /// apt-get install gsfonts this one puts them in /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/ instead. similar to what you indicate above. but i figure it should be easy enough to get the others working, so i'll put this off for a while. /// fuy. i'll go on to suggestion three now-- -- I use Debian/GNU Linux version 3.0; Linux server 2.4.20-k6 #1 Mon Jan 13 23:49:14 EST 2003 i586 unknown DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #69 from Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : Preparing to UPGRADE POSTGRESQL? If you have a second machine on your network that you can tinker with, do your upgrade there, first: once tested, you can just have your current applications link to the remote database through the network: psql -h 192.168.2.17 myDB or in perl, $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:Pg:dbname=myDB;host=192.168.2.17'); (You may need to tweak your 'host-based access' settings in /etc/postgresql/pg_hba.conf, first.) Once you're satisfied that all is well, upgrade your main server. No down time! See "man psql" and "man DBD::Pg" for details.
