I am sorry if this has been covered, I have not seen it, and searching the user's archives did not yield a result for me.

I use apple x11 beta 3.

I have installed kde from fink 5.2 binary, and just updated using the upgrades instructions using dselect.

Each time I have ended up with what amounts to an un-usable kde installation. One where all of the text (aside from the title bars) is un-readable/not there.

Has anyone seen this?

Yes _ I'm using everything from fink, and from source _ and today I had the same shock:
not a single alphabetic sign to be seen, though KDE had been working faithfully since ever...
I just attributed it tentatively to myself having maybe 'experimented' too much lately, but couldn't
imagine a relevant context...
Didn't have yet the time to look at it however; the only thing I noticed was that, when I afterwards
restarted XDarwin (and hence KDE through .xinitrc) after setting aside ~/.kde etc, /tmp/kde.log
started with :
xset: bad font path element (#56), possible causes are:
Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
Directory missing fonts.dir
Incorrect font server address or syntax
startkde: Starting up...
....


Looking at the startkde script, this locates quite well where this msg came from _ but my
permissions seem all OK, and unchanged from before ; _ and I don't have the previous
kde.log to compare, and make sure that this msg is not due precisely to the fact that I
set aside ~/.kde (and the font-dirs it contains).
As soon as I get some time, I'll look further into it (except of course if somebody on the
list gives me before a fully-cooked solution on a silver plate.... -)
