Some more info Martin. As I said earlier, the permissions of /.fonts is me. A little more digging and I see that /sw/lib/X11/fonts is owned by:[Brian-OKeefes-Computer:/] brianokeefe% ls -l /sw/lib/X11/fonts
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 131 root admin 4454 Oct 2 13:20 applettf
drwxr-xr-x 6 root admin 204 May 4 19:18 konsole


Should I change that permission also?
Thanks

Martin,
I ran xfontsel and found that X11 is not seeing the fonts and in qtconfig, all the listed fonts are in the same calligraphic style-no difference at all except that clearlyu, clean and american typewriter show up as the actual typeface. I changed the settings in qtconfig to all clearlyu so at least I can read the icons and menus.
Any more ideas? I truly appreciate the time and help.
Yours in debt,
Brian

I apologize for the running at the mouth syndrome I am exhibiting here but I further checked /sw/lib/X11/fonts and of course I then opened /fonts and it is full of fonts-all the usual suspects. Should I trash it and see if it rebuilds or something?

With all the complicated font tools like freetype and fontconfig, used by abiword and the other gnome and kde programs, I wouldn't know how to start debugging this. Just some thoughts:


You could look with a basic X11 utility like "xfontsel" whether X11 is seeing your fonts.

For the appearance of kde windows, you could run the "qtconfig" program.

For the appearance of programs like abiword that use gtk, you could create a file ".gtkrc-2.0" in your home directory containing one line with something like

gtk-font-name = "geneva 12"

(At least this is the file name and the syntax on Panther; I can't check this for Jaguar now).

I'll try the font fix. Abiword does not start, however but gives: [Brian-OKeefes-Computer:~] brianokeefe% abiword
/sw/bin/abiword: line 14: 16154 Illegal instruction


Sorry, I hadn't read your original message completely.

Do you get a crash log? Something like ~/Library/Logs/Crashreporter/abiwordx.log? You are on 10.2.6, though, and these crash logs became more useful after 10.3.2.
