Quoth Tom Allison,
I'm experiencing a weird problem in kde:
- when using kde wm, I can't access all fonts available in my
system; it defaults to a very ugly and almost unreadable font (Arnold
Boecklin).
- when using another window manager, like wmaker, I launch kde
control center, choose the appropriate font (arial), apply it, the
control center window gets redrawn with the chosen font and every kde
app that I launch will have the right font (arial, courier, whatever).
Any hint on why this is happening?
How to find the culprit?
I have a similar situation where my Fixed Width fonts are defaulting to an
Agate 8 -- which is a hideously difficult to read font similar to an Olde
English type. It might be nice someplaces, but not on my terminal windows.
Turn off anti-aliasing from the control panel thingy. Most of the fonts
you usually use can't be anti-aliased, and so all you're left with are a
few that can.
cheers,
damon
Thanks. I'll give it a try
