Hello I solved the problem by installing Ralf's deb's (also qt3 debs). Still fontconfig won't install. But I got my AA back by using freetype and xfs as fontserver.
Don't know what the problem was but I did is this way because I wanted to get my kde back. --- Anti-aliased fonts Ok, here is where people are always having problems. This tends to happen because either a) they've never dealt with X fonts before ever, or b) They have dealt with X fonts before and therefore think they know what they're doing. Here's the secret - Xft-using apps get their fonts only through Xft, and don't use X fonts, so your Xft fonts and X fonts are two independant sets, and the app will only use one of the sets. Fontconfig is yet a third place apps can get fonts, but that's a Gnome 2.2 thing, so I'm ignoring it for now. And it tends to be smart enough to pick up on the .fonts thing anyway. Therefore, the fonts your gtk-1/gtk-2 (non-aa) apps are using are coming from the X server, specified in /etc/X11/XF86Confg-4, whatever. These don't change. The fonts your Xft apps are using come from the fontpaths specified in /etc/X11/XftConfig or ~/.xftconfig. The easiest thing to do, and what I do, is to just not touch your X11 config at all, and create a ~/.xftconfig as follows: (one line) dir "~/.fonts" Then put all your .ttf files in ~/.fonts. Run ~$ xftcache ~/.fonts --------- Greetings Rob > Rob Lensen wrote (Sat 2003-Jan-04 14:20:18 +0100): > > > This is the error I get: > > /usr/bin/kdm_greet: relocation error: /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1: > > undefined sym bol: FT_Get_Next_Char > > (END) > > Similar problem here, possibly related; from .xsession-errors: > > startkde: Starting up... > kdeinit4: relocation error: /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so.2: undefined > symbol: XRenderCompositeText32 startkde: Could not start kdeinit. > Check your installation. > > However, it does run. > > > Cheers, Marcus > > -- > Marcus C.
