Product: fontconfig
Component: fontconfig
Summary: font cache files need to be removed and fc-cache run for
each user
Product: fontconfig
Version: 2.2.1-6mdk
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: fontconfig
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
In one of my machines, where I ran ML 9.0, then 9.1 and now current cooker,
I had a longstanding problem with fonts. I could get them to work fine under
KDE (antialiased fonts), but then Gnome apps and Mozilla had ugly fonts, etc.
Even DrakConf had ugly fonts.
Long story short. I deleted all the ~/.font* files and I ran fc-cache as a
normal user, and I fixed most of the problems. Except for DrakConf, that is
ran as root. Then I deleted /root/.font* and run fc-cache as root and now
everything is ok. It looks like I had some old crap in these files ruining
my xfs behavior.
Shouldn't this processed be done automatically by some postinstall script
after installing fontconfig, a new Xserver o new fonts ?
Also, there was a problem with KDE previews a month ago or so, that was solved
by running fc-cache as root. fc-cache runs very fast, so it's not an issue to
include it in post-install scripts IMHO ...
