That seems to be the problem here. I ran `dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig`
and that made all of the fonts non-itallic. That was enough for now,
since I don't use the itallic versions. Running fc-list as above shows
that the slants are all zero.
I'm going to file a bug with the debian maintainer to see if a patch can
be backported. What would point him in the best direction to find it in
CVS? (eg files/directories affected, etc.)
Thanks,
Jonathan
