It has come to my attention that problems like this are often caused by the
X-server font path not being set correctly. So the dependency mechanism
does load the required font packages, and they do have the required fonts
in them, but the X-server cannot fin them. The situation can be corrected
I suppose the mentioned font must be in the recommended xfonts-100dpi package.
I don't think XBoard can run without an X-font. I am not sure why debian
lists the fonts
as 'recommend' rather than 'depends'. I guess 'depends on A' means that it
is absolutely
impossible that it would ever run witho
