[Xastir] Debian font problem

[Tony Hunt]

Hi Curt ,  Thanks for that tip but it didnt work ..
Ive run xastir up with the -l english switch as well but the Fonts are still
messed up on the menus .. I have not been able to find any info on this
problem as yet via the Knoppix page or elsewhere .. Still the programe works
fine but it leaves one guessing a bit what some of the menus are when they
are not readable at all..
