I installed xorg-7 and the land was calm, exe openbox spoke, and openbox blessed me with it's standards compliant presence. Then I decided I'd like domestic manners and installed ttf-cheapskate and dependencies (twm and some other stuff). After this openbox (and gtk-chtheme) couldn't find fonts for some reason, probably due to one of the packages ttf-cheapskate pulled in? I found a related forum post and apparently intalling artwiz-fonts and font-bitstream-speedo solves the problem, somehow... It'd be great if these two packages were dependencies of ttf-cheapskate.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  Most fonts are fixed with correct postinstall. At least these fonts are.

I guess the cheapskate fonts still need adjustments to the new font installation policy we have. The two fonts you named to fix the problem have been fixed for this policy, I guess the postinstall of those fonts make sure the font cache and font.dir files on your system are working again.

Sounds good to me. I also installed the fonts associated with asian characters and had the same thing happen. This time reinstalling those two fonts didn't work, so I searched and found the refresh-fonts script. Since this seems to be a widely known bug, should I just shoot the maintainters of those fonts an email instead of filing another bug report?

A combined bug for all these fonts is still open. I haven't had the time to check them all yet, only half of them are done up to now.

Oh, well then, I'll check that out. Thanks for the info! :)
