Package: tpb
Version: 0.6.3-2

On-screen display does not work on my system when the xfonts-base
package is not installed. I'm running Debian unstable, with the en_US
locale, and with the suggested xfonts-base-transcoded package
installed.

The error message given when I run tpb from a shell is
  Unable to initialize xosd. Running without onsceen display.

I have several fonts packages installed, including the suggested
xfonts-base-transcoded package, but not xfonts-base. I get this
message when the OSDFONT variable is not set in the /etc/tpbrc file,
or when I set it to a font. I ran strace on tpb, and saw this message:

writev(6, [{"1\0\21\0\1\0009\0", 8},
{"-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--*-*-*-*-c-*-ISO8859-1", 57},
{"\0\0\0", 3}], 3) = 68

That font is installed by xfonts-base, I believe.

I'm not a font wizard, or a locale wizard, so I may be wrong on some
of the details here. All I know is that my problem goes away if I
install xfonts-base - maybe this should also be a "suggested" package
for tpb? Better yet, tpb should deal with the absence of xfonts-base...
