Hi and hello, i have some serious font problems with KDE 3.2 for Debian Woody. For better understanding i made some screenshots you can see here:
http://test.thermoman.de/kde/kde_font_problems.htm The main problem as i figured out now is: I run KDE 3.1.4 with 75dpi fonts and all is fine as you can see on the left screenshots in above website. If i switch to 100dpi fonts (still KDE 3.1.4) font's are getting ugly like on these screenshots of KDE 3.2 on the right side. When i upgrade my KDE from 3.1.4 to 3.2.0 and then start KDE, it behaves like KDE 3.1.4 in 100dpi mode - fonts are ugly big (right side of screenshots) at 9pt and much to small in 8pt - thats the reason why i run KDE 3.1.4 in 75dpi mode - here it's: 8pt < 9pt < 10pt. In KDE 3.2.0 (set to 75dpi which behaves like 100dpi 3.1.4) it's: 8pt < 9pt = 10pt There is still 1 difference between 9pt and 10pt: The 9pt font is cut off at the top and the bottom so underscores and the dots on ÖÄÜ aren't visible (see http://test.thermoman.de/kde/kde_3.2_helvetica2.png [edit field]) Other problem: In KDE 3.1.4 there is a fixed font called Courier [Bitstream], which is *not* available in KDE 3.2.0 (see screenshots). I tested so much: with and without xfs-xtt, deleted ~/.kde and started from zero, compared output from 'xlsfonts' in KDE 3.1.4 and KDE 3.2.0 (only 2 konsole fonts changed, Courier [Bitstream] is still listed in 3.2.0 ...) but nothing helped. Someone in #debian-kde pointed me to this mailing list so i address this to you and am waiting for suggestions :) PS: Sure, i changed the 75/100dpi lines in XF86Config-4 and xfs-xtt config when changed X parameter from -dpi 75 to 100 and vice versa. PPS: Is this bug(?) shown at the end of my mentioned page known? I couldn't find something related in bugs.kde.org Marcel (i am subscribed to the mailing list) -- http://debian.thermoman.de/
