Thanks for the responses Steve & Kalin.

I guess all Takeo fonts are not the same.  I have an ubuntu 12.10 system 
(Debian, right) and Debian 6.06 that I'm trying to move to in hopes of 
getting back to gnome-2 and because I can't seem to get Skype to work 
with Ubuntu but did on Debian.

Anyway, I have one netbook running Debian and was installing on the 
second.  I assumed (duh...) the new install was the system with the 
problem but it turns out that the older one also has the same problem 
but on the ubuntu system things work fine.

I did a quick try installing the ubuntu fonts on the debian system by 
copying the font .ttf files from the ubuntu system to the debian and 
running the gnome font installer as root but am not seeing the new fonts 
so there's more I need to do. I'm out of time and will need to return to 
this.
