No, and it seems very, very odd that this would happen. One thing that I can think of trying to test where the problem is located is to create a new user on your machine and start X11 from that account. If the fonts are screwed up, then it's in the system, but if they are OK, then something in your home directory is being used.

I'm going to forward this back to the list:

Summary: Bold Italic fonts from Gnome2 show up now even when it's removed.

I've got KDE running--thank you so much for the information and for the binaries. However, the font problem I've been having is now throughout KDE; all the widgets/menu items are the unreadable bold italic. Even when I try to reconfigure to, say, Luxi Sans or Helvetica, It seems that Gnome 2 broke something very deep in my X11 structure. I did a clean reinstall of X11 as well, and I still am having this problem. I am completely stumped, and dismayed, because KDE is pretty much unusable in its present form--the menus are just too harder to read. Any other advice?

Binaries of a bunch of different Fink packages, including KDE.

Are these binaries of KDE or source code?

Oops--It was late and I didn't look back in the thread about this.

If you're interested, I've got a working repository for the latest (unstable) versions on a 10.2.8 box (gcc3.3). If you put

deb http://ldx3.psfc.mit.edu unstable main crypto

in your sources.list you can use it

Still compiling KDE, but I'm running 10.2, so doubt this repository would help me. But thanks.

Actually, there is an unofficial 10.3 .deb repository available. You can access it if you put the following line in /sw/etc/apt/sources.list and then run "sudo apt-get update":

deb http://fink.opendarwin.org/bbraun 10.3/unstable main crypto

I'm not sure if everything's the absolute latest version yet.

These three apps, I believe, are tuned to pick up the interface of KDE or Gnome--I'm gonna install KDE-bundle and see if that helps. Will let you know tomorrow, since it will take all night to compile from source...

Thanks for your advice.

Hmm...

Since you did a clean install I think the font setup must be buried in a dot file or dot directory in your home directory--but I'm not sure which one it would be--.Xresources is a good candidate, but I'm just not sure.
