[Pkg-games-ubuntu] [Bug 655757] [NEW] xboard cannot find helvetica font and does not start

[krahim]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xboard

I cannot run xboard
xboard: no fonts match pattern -*-helvetica-bold-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

This font is supposed to be in xorg-x11-75dpi-fonts and xorg-x11-100dpi-fonts but it is not or not at least with a name that matches.
Apparently it is possible to run xboard with a font argument but I haven't bothered to sort this out yet.
