Further information: I've tried fc-cache -fv but did not improve my situation; I've also tried installing qt3mac, but that didn't help. Another user provided a screenshot on another list that resembles what I'm seeing in this thread: http://lists.trolltech.com/pipermail/qt-interest/2009-March/003968.html As mentioned, this only seems to affect certain X11 applications, most likely, as Martin suggests, those using qt3. In case it helps, here is the output of fc-cache -fv /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts: caching, new cache contents: 0 fonts, 10 dirs /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi: caching, new cache contents: 398 fonts, 0 dirs /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi: caching, new cache contents: 398 fonts, 0 dirs /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/OTF: caching, new cache contents: 23 fonts, 0 dirs /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo: caching, new cache contents: 0 fonts, 0 dirs /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/TTF: caching, new cache contents: 23 fonts, 0 dirs /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/Type1: caching, new cache contents: 29 fonts, 0 dirs /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic: caching, new cache contents: 0 fonts, 0 dirs /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/encodings: caching, new cache contents: 0 fonts, 1 dirs /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/encodings/large: caching, new cache contents: 0 fonts, 0 dirs /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/misc: caching, new cache contents: 59 fonts, 0 dirs /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/util: caching, new cache contents: 0 fonts, 0 dirs /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts: caching, new cache contents: 0 fonts, 10 dirs /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi: caching, new cache contents: 398 fonts, 0 dirs /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi: caching, new cache contents: 398 fonts, 0 dirs /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/OTF: caching, new cache contents: 23 fonts, 0 dirs /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo: caching, new cache contents: 0 fonts, 0 dirs /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF: caching, new cache contents: 23 fonts, 0 dirs /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1: caching, new cache contents: 29 fonts, 0 dirs /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic: caching, new cache contents: 0 fonts, 0 dirs /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings: caching, new cache contents: 0 fonts, 1 dirs /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings/large: caching, new cache contents: 0 fonts, 0 dirs /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc: caching, new cache contents: 59 fonts, 0 dirs /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/util: caching, new cache contents: 0 fonts, 0 dirs /Users/bentones/.fonts: skipping, no such directory /System/Library/Fonts: caching, new cache contents: 50 fonts, 0 dirs /Library/Fonts: caching, new cache contents: 281 fonts, 1 dirs /Library/Fonts/Microsoft: caching, new cache contents: 188 fonts, 0 dirs /Users/bentones/Library/Fonts: caching, new cache contents: 0 fonts, 0 dirs /usr/X11/var/cache/fontconfig: not cleaning unwritable cache directory /Users/bentones/.fontconfig: cleaning cache directory fc-cache: succeeded ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
