Hi,

Thank you for reporting this question in launchpad. This post will be a
valuable information for the rest of Ubuntu users.

xfonts-mplus is an X11 bitmap font. There has been quite a number of
feedback in the forum that installing bitmap font requires more effort.
But there is still a way to install this type of fonts:

1. Verify that xfonts-mplus has been installed in Ubuntu. Go to
/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc, and ensure that mplus_*.gz files exist.

These steps are courtesy of 'jbo 5512' in
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=592731.

2. Open your console and type : 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config'. Chose: Autohinter, Automatic, Yes
3. Type 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig' in your console.
4. Type 'fc-cache -f -v' in your console.
5. restart x server

You should see 'goth_p' font in your fonts list.

I hope you will find this for you.

Cheers,
