Hi everyone,
  I have gotten my gnucash graph display to look good, and thought I'd
post my solution.  I chased the error messages below around the 'net a
bit more, and found a gnome developers discussion.  gnome-font-face is
apparently in the libgnomeprint debian package.  By upgrading my
libgnomeprint-bin and libgnomeprint-data from 0.29-5 to 0.35-4, the
problem went away. =20

  On another note, I dig the ability to rotate the graph (right mouse
button over the pie) and separate sections (left mouse button over a
wedge, pull it away). =20
