I'm amazed that nobody else has mentioned this. I have two different computers running up to date KDE 3.1 from Sid and both exhibit identical symptoms even though they are configured quite differently.
Select Fonts in KDE Control Center and then chose any item, Desktop, for example. Select a serifed truetype font, such as Times New Roman. The font shows up unserifed, like maybe Arial. Some other serifed fonts, such as Times, display correctly. If I turn off anti-aliasing all the fonts show up correctly, but the ttf's are so ugly as to be unusable. Both gfontview and xfontsel show the offending fonts correctly. One of my machines is using xfs and the other has only X's built-in font server (i.e., # FontPath "unix/:7100" is commented out in XF86Config-4 and ps shows no xfs process). On the other machine xfs is running and referenced at the top of XF86Config-4. I have tried many variations in XF86Config-4 and /etc/X11/Xftconfig and /etc/X11/fs/config and been careful to restart X and/or xfs each time. Advice, anybody? -- Michael Epting ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
