For Debian-based distros, I often use the Ubuntu package search to see which package contains the files I’m looking for.

In the meantime, you can do a quick and dirty fix by making a symlink from the new font dir to the one GEM is looking for:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class=""><div class=""><div class=""><div class=""><div class=""><div class="">sudo ln -s /usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/ /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/</div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">This way you will have both folders & one of them is just a link to the other.</div><div class=""><br class=""><div class="">

While doing some stuff in Pd (that's 0.46.2 from the Jessie repositories) I created a [text2d] and got this error message:<br class="">[text2d]: cannot find font-file '/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf'<br class=""><br class=""></div>So I looked in /usr/share/fonts/truetype and saw there was a dejavu/ directory, which had some font files in it, including DejavuSans.ttf.
