On Debian Squeeze installed gnustep - The font specified for NSFont, Helvetica, can't be found.

Hi,

(I installed back Debian Squeeze 64 bit instead of Gentoo.)

I installed gnustep debian packages using aptitude.

I follow advices of Yavor Doganov:
sudo aptitude install mknfonts.tool fontconfig
sudo defoma-app purge gnustep-nfont
sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/defoma/gnustep-nfont.d/Fonts
cd /var/lib/defoma/gnustep-nfont.d/Fonts
sudo mknfonts $(fc-list : file | grep -v '\.gz' | cut -d: -f1)
for dir in *\ */; do sudo mv "$dir" `echo $dir | tr -d [:space:]`; done

defaults write NSGlobalDomain GSBackend libgnustep-cairo

Now, when I try to run a GNUstep application, like Cynthiune, I get
messages:

Cynthiune[13011] XShm pixmaps not supported by X server.

Cynthiune[13011] Falling back to normal XImage: s (will be slower).

Cynthiune[13011] The font specified for NSFont, Helvetica, can't be
found. 

 ...

Cynthiune[13011] Problem posting notification: <NSException: 0x11dd250>
NAME:NSRangeException REASON:RangeError in method
-attribute:atIndex:longestEffectiveRange:inRange: in class
NSAttributedString INFO:(nil) 

Segmentation Fault


I run '. /usr/share/GNUstep/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh'

I have installed a lot of fonts here, but maybe not the needed?

How can I solve this problem?

Any advices will be appreciated!
