Binary package hint: xfonts-artwiz

I had an xfonts-artwiz which was suffering from bug #129465 . To get to the bottom of the matter I did the following things :-

I also tried a search aptitude search xfonts & while there were many others but no xfonts-artwiz in the list. Has it been discontinued or has it been renamed with some other name for Hardy?

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates.
