Comment 17 for bug 9823

Ok i've done some more investigation: i'm not working on an ubuntu install but
have reproduced this problem on gentoo. After installing the package urw-fonts
(are these redhat fonts?), the problem is resolved.

I believe this problem is caused by the Nimbus Roman No 9 L font not actually
being installed at all. When this is the case, the Nimbus Roman font is simply
linked to another serif font.

Maybe someone can try this on an ubuntu install and see if they can close this bug.
