Quoted from Mac Tips and Tricks:

Finding suspect fonts

Application: Terminal Operating System: Mac OS X

If your system begins to display fonts weirdly or to act erratic when selecting fonts you might have a corrupt font. And rather than the old trial and error method of moving fonts in and out of the folder until the corrupt font is narrowed down, you can use the Terminal application.

To locate possible problem fonts, launch the Terminal application and enter sudo fcache, supplying the password when it's requested. When you do the command will locate any problem fonts as well as help calculate any undetermined font weights. If there are any corrupted fonts, remove them from the folder. This tip is also helpful in updating the cache file after you've added fonts to the system. That way you don't have to restart to make the fonts available for use.

dh_installxfonts

DH_INSTALLXFONTS(1)						     Debhelper						       DH_INSTALLXFONTS(1)

NAME

       dh_installxfonts - register X fonts

SYNOPSIS

       dh_installxfonts [debhelperoptions]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_installxfonts is a debhelper program that is responsible for registering X fonts, so their corresponding fonts.dir, fonts.alias, and
       fonts.scale be rebuilt properly at install time.

       Before calling this program, you should have installed any X fonts provided by your package into the appropriate location in the package
       build directory, and if you have fonts.alias or fonts.scale files, you should install them into the correct location under etc/X11/fonts in
       your package build directory.

       Your package should depend on xfonts-utils so that the update-fonts-* commands are available. (This program adds that dependency to
       ${misc:Depends}.)

       This program automatically generates the postinst and postrm commands needed to register X fonts. These commands are inserted into the
       maintainer scripts by dh_installdeb. See dh_installdeb(1) for an explanation of how this works.

NOTES

       See update-fonts-alias(8), update-fonts-scale(8), and update-fonts-dir(8) for more information about X font installation.

       See Debian policy, section 11.8.5. for details about doing fonts the Debian way.

SEE ALSO

       debhelper(7)

       This program is a part of debhelper.
