great advice... thanks! I forgot I installed some fonts and . The loopback device and DNS all work nicely, so that was not the issue. so: smartass:/# fc-cache --verbose --force fc-cache: "/usr/share/fonts": caching, 0 fonts, 2 dirs fc-cache: "/usr/share/fonts/type1": caching, 0 fonts, 1 dirs fc-cache: "/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts": caching, 35 fonts, 0 dirs fc-cache: "/usr/share/fonts/afms": caching, 0 fonts, 1 dirs fc-cache: "/usr/share/fonts/afms/adobe": caching, 0 fonts, 0 dirs fc-cache: "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1": caching, 147 fonts, 0 dirs fc-cache: "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs": caching, 0 fonts, 2 dirs fc-cache: "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType": caching, 0 fonts, 0 dirs fc-cache: "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/CID": caching, 0 fonts, 0 dirs fc-cache: "/root/.fonts": skipping, no such directory fc-cache: succeeded didn't help, but: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ fc-cache --verbose fc-cache: "/usr/share/fonts": skipping, no write access fc-cache: "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1": skipping, no write access fc-cache: "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs": skipping, no write access fc-cache: "/home/lsa/.fonts": skipping, no such directory fc-cache: "/home/lsa/.kde/share/fonts/TrueType/": caching, 1184 fonts, 0 dirs fc-cache: "/home/lsa/.kde/share/fonts/Type1/": caching, 1023 fonts, 0 dirs fc-cache: succeeded did a great job, as I used KDE's font installer to install the fonts. Although I changed to superuser while installing, obviously the font installer did not rebuild the cache... Or does every and each user have to rebuild their own cache? Thanks again!
