I have a current sid machine. If I open a GNOME 2 application with a font selector, looking for Helvetica fails. As an exercise, for example, one might open Gnumeric, and type some text into a cell. I can change the font to "Arial" since I copied a bunch of fonts from the Windows side of my laptop, but "Helvetica" doesn't appear in the list and manually selecting it gets me something slightly unfortunate that's very visibly sans serif but not Helvetica. It's clearly not that X doesn't believe in the font; I can draw things in -*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--0-110-123-124-*-0-iso8859-1 just fine.
I know little enough about how GNOME 2 font selection works to track down where this is going on. (The larger problem is that I get the same ugly font in Galeon.) Any hints as to why this is happening? Is it something on my machine, or a (presumably reported) bug in the font system? -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
