Comment 2 for bug 668086

I guess you faceing the: „W: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/latex-xft-fonts/cmmi10.ttf: not registered.“ problem that prevents latex-xft-fonts from being removed, updated or installed? The report is not that informative in the current form, I hat to guess form the logs.

The problem is that some fonts are not registered and dpkg is aborting. As a workaround it is possible to register the fonts manualy via:

sudo defoma-font register-all /etc/defoma/hints/latex-xft-fonts.hints

dpkg gives to additional recommendations for defoma commands I forgot now, but you can simply follow them. As the package is transitional it can be removed and ttf-lyx installed instead.
