The font was OK for a new user. I hadn't tried that because I was sure it was a system wide problem because it affected regular users and also root. > might be something on the system level, otherwise it > might be reasonable to look for the konqueror setings > under ~/.kde and try to delete them. I then deleted konquerorrc and discovered that that also solved the problem for existing users. I then tried to find out what was wrong with the konquerorrc file and discovered the following line: StandardFont=adobe-helvetica,15,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0 Deleting that line or replacing it wit the following also solved the problem: StandardFont=Arial,16,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0 I guess that Konq can't **see** the adobe-helvetica font so it uses some wierd font instead. But when I replace it with Arial, Konq does find the font. So it seems to me that I may have a problem with the font server. I checked my font path and found a few directories not listed. I added them with chkfontpath, ran xset fp rehash, and restarted the font server with service xfs restart. None of that helped. BTW - when I run xfontsel, it reports that I have 7997 fonts (including the adobe-helvetica). But when I tried using that font in Kwrite, KMail and Mozilla, I discovered that I seem to be missing alot of fonts (for instance adobe, elmar and many others). xlsfonts | grep adobe shows me a long list of adobe fonts. Any idea what's going on?
