Actually I'm using the default layout so I guess I don't have any
special config in my KDE config files, but I think you should try to use
grep to parse the files in ~/.kde/share/config with keywords like
'mapping', 'layout' or 'key'. That should give you some results. If not,
you'll lose 15 mn to reconfigure your KDE environment, it's no big deal
if you keep the important files apart (like Kmail config for example).
fist of all thank you very much.
i found out that the layout configuration was in ~/.kde/share/config/kxkbrc.
though Layout was set to 'us' it did not work right. setting it to en_US did
work so i guess something (probably me by killing X with ctrl-alt-bs in
despair) messed up xlibs. i reinstalled xlibs and now Layout=us works as
before which is great. what a relief!
Why do you want to use xfs-tt ? Since XFree86 v4.x, it's really not
necessary. Plus, you got fontconfig and KDE, which deal well with any
type of font. Try setting font paths in your workstation's XF86Config
instead of using the server. I can send you my file if you like
(everything works, TT fonts, regular ones, Euro character, japanese
fonts, etc.). I can even tell you what font packages I've installed, but
I guess you already double-checked this.
at the office we want to switch our machines from evil M$-Win2k to sweet
Debian gnu/linux and kde and one of the problems we have with win2k are the
fonts. often we have to (re)install and/or adjust fonts and things really get
messy when we edit documents on different machines because no machine has the
same font set. so i though having a font server making one font set available
for all machines would be nice and troublefree.
meanwhile i guess it's easier to install those font packages on every machine.
(i think i gotta get rid of my perfectionism someday but until then) can you
(or anyone else) point me to a howto about truetype/antialiasing fonts with
xfree86? i really want to know how this works.
with kind regards, caspar kurt
