Do you have a similar selection of font related packages installed on 
your system? My installed list has these versions.
I don't change my font selections, so I am not familar with those 
details. I assume that font substitution is what you are seeing. Though 
they might have dropped a font that you are wanting. Your font selection 
doesn't sound too specialized, so maybe one of the packages listed is 
older or missing from your system.
