[Bug 460412] [NEW] Installing latex-xft-fonts breaks Matlab latex rendering

[Matti Laakso]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: latex-xft-fonts

When latex-xft-fonts is installed, Matlab is no longer able to render
latex texts in plots. All mathematical symbols come out wrong when latex
interpreter is used.

/var/log/Xorg.0.log shows these relevant lines:
FreeType: couldn't find encoding 'fontspecific-0' for '/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType/cmr10.ttf'

Obviously, this could also be a Matlab bug. I'm using Matlab R2009a and
Karmic release candidate, both 64 bit.
