Hi folks,
I recently decided to switch from Gnome to KDE wich I never used before.
Before doing so, I decided to fully reinstall my system. I used xfstt for my
TrueType fonts, and never had any problems with that.
I installed FreeBSD 4.7 with XFree86-3.3.6_11, kde-3.1.3 and xfstt-1.6 all
from packages (I hate compiling, and my system does too due to lack of
diskspace at times).
Everything went well, I'm a happy KDE-user now, but for one thing: the
TrueType-fonts won't work in any KDE-app.
But when I invoke a GTK-based program (tested XMMS and the GIMP (GTK-1) and
AbiWord and gedit (GTK-2) ) the fonts work fine in that program. Also,
running xlsfonts | grep ttf gives me a fine list of my 57 fonts.
one odd thing though: when xfstt starts, it gives me an error about opening
the font database, then rebuilds it, syncs and works. It does that every time
again. I then tried xfstt-1.4 (wich I had on my previous install) wich works
fine (gives that error the first time, then it's happy).
Now, is this a KDE-related problem? It seems to be, cause everything else
works fine.
What to be done? Any suggestions?
(Please CC me, I'm not on the list)
thanks!

Well, I'm not sure if this is the same type of problem...
I just got truetype fonts installed (I'm running linux [redhat 7/8]).
I'm building kde-3.1.4. (I like to build things myself ;-))
I'm using xfstt 1.6.
But when I enable truetype fonts, none of the kde-3.1.4 applications run -- they
all start up, but quickly crashes, the crash dialog doesn't stay up...
When I disable the truetype fonts, no problem...
I was going to ask the KDE folks about this...
