[B. Bogart]

Package: tk8.4
Version: 8.4.12-1
Severity: minor

"ttf-bitstream-vera" is installed, but the tk command "font families"
does not return it:

dpkg -l "*bitstream*"

This happening on both my debian etch machines, but does not happen on
ubuntu (feisty).

Perhaps some script to register fonts is not working?
