Just to chime in, I got this on a fresh update to Jaunty on an old testing system (before upgrading production systems). I thought my locale had been set to Hittite or something like that ;)
Tried the following: 1. Alter nvidia driver (96 - it's an old system) to nv (no change) 2. Remove extra nvidia parts of nvidia xorg.conf settings (no change) 3. Removed plasma* in .kde/share/config (no change) 4. Moved aside .kde, restart kde (no change) 5. Used another notebook to help me navigate to the font settings, turn off antialiasing at a wild guess - fonts come back but ugly of course 6. Changed VBGR to BGR or RGB in sub pixel hinting, restart X (hint: set dontzap option to false in ServerFlags of Xorg.conf), login, fonts are back. Attached a photo just to illustrate the problem for completeness. I'd agree it's not a good ad for Kubuntu but I think it would only happen on upgrade and if VBGR/VRGB was selected in the previous setting. ** Attachment added: "DSC07797.JPG" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/25926644/DSC07797.JPG -- Subpixel/Lcd mode with VRGB/VBGR makes qt4 applications on Jaunty unreadable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/334657 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to qt4-x11 in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
