Bug Description
my current system: LinuxMint 13, 64-bit
I installed xfig (among many other programs). Now I want to use xfig to modify some of my drawings created in xfig on ubuntu 11.04.
After loading my drawing I can see letters displayed in very small and thin fonts (quite odd for given purpose) and xfig writes out error messages:
Can't find -*-times-
Can't find -*-times-
Can't find -*-symbol-
Can't find -*-times-
Can't find -*-times-
These and similar fonts should certainly be considered as necessary prerequisities for usable xfig operation. At now in Mint 13, xfig is almost unsuable.

Hello, I had this problem too, and I guess they didn't install the ghost script fonts by default with the Mint 13 installation.
Anyway, there is an easy workaround that worked for me: install the gsfonts-x11 package via software manager, and restart your system.
I hope that helps,
Luiz
