Comment (by jg):

 Sufficient aliases for old X11 core fonts have been added that most
 applications not yet updated to the current X client-side font model
 should work: specifically, the menus in Adobe Flash 9 for Linux would
 crash the plug in and browser despite more than 4 years of deployment of
 the new X Window System font system.

 Note that full internationalization is effectively using the old X Window
 System font system and that any application or library using them needs
 updating to modern standards. We see support of these fonts as a crutch
 that must be removed to meet OLPC's long term goals. To remove these
 aliases while testing, you can use the "xset -fp usr/share/fonts/dejavu-
 lgc" command.

 "Fixed", or rather resolved, in build 385, until really fixed when Adobe
 Flash no longer relies on the old font system.
