What package installs fonts.dir with -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--14-140-75-75-p-77-iso8859-1?

grep fonts.dir files on your computer for '-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--' and then run qfile on directory containing that fonts.dir.

Is there some package I should remerge? Is it possible to clean up the list of available fonts? Should I unmerge a specific package? What can I do? Please do not give up on me here .. :-/
(In reply to comment #6) > the only matching file is: > /usr/share/fonts/75dpi/fonts.dir This file was created during installation of 75dpi adobe fonts and later it was not removed. Confirm that there is no helvR14-ISO8859-13.pcf.gz file on your system (with qfile) and try to remove fonts.dir and fonts.scale files in 75dpi directory. After that run xset fp rehash and try fontforge another time. Actually installation/removal of any font package may help to resolve this problem as currently font.eclass will drop empty font directories... Although right now I have questions to that process (see bug 315369). Also, please, try fontforge 20100501.

Brilliant! Thank you very much. RESOLVED
