Which version of tuxtype was this in? Is this hardy or intrepid?

this was on intrepid, tuxtype 1.5.17, deb 1.5.17.dfsg1-1ubuntu1

That font seems to be in ttf-sil-andika in hardy (ttf-sil-andika (0.001.desrev-5)), but not in intrepid (ttf-sil-andika (1.0.basic-1) )

It doesn't seem to be in debian lenny, etch or sid.

This looks like a change in ttf-sil-andika. Can you check which version you have installed?

yes, this is with ttf-sil-andika 1.0.basic-1. upstream package (the
tarball on the sil-webpage) does not have this font either.

i guess, it just got renamed, as tuxtype looks good, if the new font is
symlinked to the right name.

the debian package (1.5.17.dfsg1-3) does not look at this place, so this
seems to have been fixed by debian or upstream.

syncing the version might be appropiate :)

You think this is fixed in 1.5.17.dfsg1-3?

looking at the Debian changelog this was probably fixed in 1.5.17.dfsg1-2.

http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/t/tuxtype/tuxtype_1.5.17.dfsg1-3/changelog

 tuxtype (1.5.17.dfsg1-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Bump Standards-version to 3.8.0, no changes needed.
   * Patch the source to use 1.0 basic release of the ttf-sil-andika fonts and
     not the "design review" version.

yes, i removed the symlink and it works. did not before.

So a sync fixes it? Wonderful! Thanks for catching!
