Do you have libfreetye, libxft and fontconfig installed? If so, does /etc/fonts/fonts.conf point at the directories that have truetype fonts in them. Try running fc-cache (this creates a font cache file in the directories (and subdirectories) pointed to by fonts.conf - libqt uses this to look for fonts. If libxft is not installed, I don't know how it works - but I guess its an xserver configuration problem - look in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and see what it says in the list of fontpaths. (This is probably the most likely explanation, because I just noted that my config file got "updated" during the last update and my fontpaths got reset - however in my case the fontconfig combination made all this invalid). - -- Alan Chandler [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+YGncuFHxcV2FFoIRAl/rAJ0VMMZqETszvTwYleEN5h6DtVTGMwCeIIQH kskcmvaaaPq9B5A1r8yRQ5g= =9Ekq -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
