Re: Fonts in KDE2.2

But when I restart it, I get very weird fonts. I go to the control center to change them, but I only get three fonts: bitstream charter, courier and another one I don't remember now. Instead, if I run xfontsel, I see all my fonts properly installed. I have, basically the 75dpi, 100dpi and msttcore fonts. What's happening? Why they are changed automatically? Thanks. What charset do you use in your personal settings? I think KDE's fontselector only offers fonts matching your charset. If you use something other than ISO-8859-1 your fonts might not support that. In sid are extra packages with 75 and 100dpi fonts for other charsets. On the other hand the msttcorefonts should support most charsets. Thomas
