Actually everything is in order with gnumeric.  The problem you are
seeing is with another package that gnumeric depends on,
gnome-print.  Older versions of gnome-print some times missed fonts
when getting configured.  I believe the most common source of
problems was that it did not explicitly depend on ghostscript font
packages.
 
My recommendation would be to
1) Install ghostscript and its fonts

2) Get more recent packages for gnome-print and gnumeric
gnome-print >= 0.25
gnumeric    >= 0.61 (current release is 0.63)

Good luck
