Yes, this is the reason. The TeX live packages do *not* provide fonts
for X of the lmodern fonts. This was due to outdated and incompatible
lmodern package (and orphaned) in Debian, so I kept the lmodern fonts
from TeX live.

We (teTeX and TeX live maintainers) are preparing a new upload of the
lmodern fonts, which will bring back full X/defoma support, and the next
incarnation of the TeX live packages will depend on the updated lmodern
fonts.

Best wishes

Norbert

CORRIEDOO (n.)
The crucial moment of false recognition in a long passageway
encounter. Though both people are perfectly well aware that the other
is approaching, they must eventually pretend sudden recognition. They
now look up with a glassy smile, as if having spotted each other for
the first time, (and are particularly delighted to have done so)
shouting out 'Haaaaaallllloooo!' as if to say 'Good grief!! You!!
Here!! Of all people! Will I never. Coo. Stab me vitals, etc.'
