Hi,
An "emerge -u system" upgraded **XFree86** to 4.3.0.
Now **KDE** 3.1.1a can no longer display the system fonts
(Helvetica, IIRC). Text appears as thin long bars (extremely
strechted). Dialog boxes are distorted (much too wide), control
elements are mostly shifted out of sight; I couldn't even log out
properly. Gnome has no font problems, but KDE apps invoked from
Gnome menu have them.
Of course, I searched the forums & mailing lists. I didn't find a
solution to my problem. (I did see although, that many people (did)
have problems with fonts, and many of them got no advice that
helped.)
I tried with and w/o XFS (X font server) - makes no difference. Is
/etc/X11/XftConfig still needed? AFAICT Xft is v2.0 which should
rely on "fontconfig" for font selection.
Best regards,
-Heribert
