Is the "Use antialiased fonts" option switched on in KDE? If so, that explains it all. KDE uses fonts that are EITHER provided by the font server OR by the xft mechanism ( that is responsible for antialiased fonts ), BUT NOT BOTH. You should have added a directory containing your helvetica font files, to /etc/fonts/local.conf. It also seems probable that you /etc/fonts/fonts.conf is a bit incorrect. Generally, it should provide an alias for non-existing fonts. In your case, there was no alias defined or it was defined erroneously, so xft just used a FIRST font in its list. > I > checked my font path and found a few directories not listed.

How much fonts are shown when running fc-list? And what is the first entry of this list? I bet that it is the same "Beast smth" font you've seen in Konqueror. > > Any idea what's going on? > > TIA -- Regards, Alex Chudnovsky e-mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ : 35559910 ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
