Public bug reported:

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
