Oh, by the way, as of 12.04, Ubuntu unbundled the old standard fonts that 
Xastir uses by default.  You can install them separately using the 
"xfonts-100dpi" and "xfonts-75dpi" packages.  Throw in xfonts-misc as well.

  sudo apt-get install xfonts-100dpi xfonts-75dpi xfonts-misc

then add the new fonts to your font path:

  xset +fp /usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi,/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi

Then Xastir will be able to use the default fonts it comes configured with.

This was one of the annoyances I encountered when I upgraded from 10.04 LTS
to 12.04 LTS on my laptop.
