The last command gives

   n019003l.pfb: "Nimbus Sans L" "Regular"

The outputs of the other commands are attached. Anything untoward there?

The installation I'm working on was put together last night. The basic
packages plus cups. No custom files.

I recollected I have a GNOME install from a live CD. It's barely used and
untouched, apart from updating and a few extra packages. Purging freefont
and dejavu unfortunately gets the same outcome as with the other two
systems.

[The last mail wasn't CC'ed to me]

The result of "./fc-test FreeMono" is:

  C: /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/n022024l.pfb
  C: /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/n022003l.pfb
  C: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/liberation/LiberationSans-Regular.ttf
  C: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/liberation/LiberationSerif-Regular.ttf
  C: /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/d050000l.pfb
  C: /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/s050000l.pfb
  C: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/liberation/LiberationSansNarrow-Regular.ttf

No monospaced truetype font is found. That's not good, is it?

Regards,

Brian.
