Hi Mikkel,

I'm on holiday at the moment on an internet link which maxes out at about 5kb 
a second, so its difficult to access my home server.

The file you need to alter is font/devpdf/Foundry.in. Line 68 says:-

foundry|U|(gs):/opt/local/share/fonts/urw-fonts # the URW fonts delivered with 
ghostscript (may be different)

Please identify where debian has installed the URW fonts and add the path with 
a colon after the existing path so it looks something like:-

foundry|U|(gs):/opt/local/share/fonts/urw-fonts:/path/to/fonts # the URW fonts 
delivered with ghostscript (may be different)

It would be very useful if you could report back the path which debian uses.

Cheers

Deri
