I'm not sure what the cause of this problem is (or what part, if any, KDE may play in it), but as I am running the current KDE 3.01 debs, I thought that someone here might have the same experience. The behaviour below occurs on two different systems, both running Debian Woody/Sid.
I have whatever fonts are installed by default, plus the TrueType fonts from the debian package msttcorefonts, and the truetype fonts from a local Windows installation, installed as well, following the instructions at http://www.paulandlesley.org/linux/xfree4_tt.html The problem: some fonts are "invisible". They show up as blank spaces in the "fonts" dialogue. One of them is whatever font is used in Konqueror for <pre></pre> text - any text in a web page between <pre></pre> tags is not displayed (though I can copy and paste the invisible text). I have tried changing all the font settings in Konqueror, but it makes no difference. I have tried removing all the "blank" fonts using the font installer, but it makes no difference. There are some other strange font things on my system as well (Openoffice 1.0, for instance, displays Bookman Old Style regular as "bold", and "bold" as regular. KDE apps, however display these fonts properly.). I guess I should probably completely clean out my font installation (remove truetype fonts to see if they are the problem), and do it over again, step by step. I thought I should check to see if anyone else had a suggestion offhand. Thanks, Bruce -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
