Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg
The package doesn't depend on/pull in the fonts. But starting an Xserver then results in:
Fatal server error:
No valid FontPath could be found.
after:
apt-get install xfonts-base
the Xserver starts.
Ooops. This IS on the older 8.10 version of ubuntu, so maybe this has been fixed in jaunty. kostunrix:~# apt-cache policy xserver-xorg

xserver-xorg-core Recommends xfonts-base, and such packages are installed by default on 8.10->. I don't know how you managed to not get it installed.
