Thanks Brett but I really don't want to go through all that. I think ? I'd rather put up with the dreadful fonts. :-))
Would `apt-get intsall --reinstall fontconfig deforma` fix things ?
The thinking here is it would trigger deforma's setup scripts and possibly resolve the ugly fonts.. Although it might be a breakage in the Etch packages.
Didn't work for me :(
But then I appeared to have a slightly odd problem anyways...
Out of interest, Barry, if you run a dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig, do you get back an error about the "default config" and it not finding it? If so, it sounds very much the same as the problem that I had. It *might* be possible to unpack the fontconfig deb and work out what's going on.
