Hmm.. defoma, but no pango... ....??

Try running " defoma-reconfigure " as root, and see if that
rebuilds your font configuration from scratch..

there is also the command " defoma-app " ,
with several options available in Debian .. clean, update, purge

I'm not in front of my box right now.. so I'm not sure if that
app is included in the defoma package or in DSL..

defoma runs in perl, so don't remove it just yet..

another item to mention, when you apt-get it, and it runs fine,
what executables do you see it running after the debs are downloaded, but before apt-get exits ?
DO you have to CHOOSE to use defoma as your font manager?
That would be the defoma-reconfigure executing ..

Nope, no pango. 49 deb files was enough, I guess.

defoma-reconfigure didn't help

I had used defoma-app update gs but that didn't help. gs still couldn't find the ecrm10 font. I checked by runnig the gs command and typing in
/ecrm10 findfont
and I got an error saying that the font couldn't be found.

When I throw the font in with the other gs fonts, it's OK in gs, but still fails in lilypond. Then I put all of the *.pfa and *.tfm files in with their lilypond cousins and lilypond went a little further before failing. Now it was dvips that caused the failure.

I'll try later, but I have very little hope right now. How can you find the one missing line or files out of 65 Megs of compressed files? And it's not like it doesn't work from the deb files.
