Hello, if you have debian SID (but also if you don't), could you please make the following test?
apt-get install ttf-xfree86-nonfree And see if KDE recognizes Luxi Mono. 1) Kde-control-panel -> Appearance&themes -> fonts -> fixed-width Does the font appear in the list? On my system (SID), it doesn't (bug). 2) Does it appear in the general list? Kde-control-panel -> Appearance&themes -> fonts -> general on my system (SID), it does (no bug). ---- If (1) does work, please also disable the bytecode interpreter in .Xresources: Xft.autohint: 1 then reboot kde. See if it works again. Now please tell me which distro you are using: sid, sarge, woody. Thank you. Maurizio
