I only had kde installed (kubuntu) and saw this problem several months ago. After deleting ~/.kde it fixed it but lost all my settings of course. I think the problem for kubuntu is if you play with the font settings "anti-alias" and dpi in the kde setup screen you cause the problem on all kde 4.2 apps (not on k3b which uses a 3.5 compat. lib I think). The work arounds described here seem to all be for people running gnome with a few qt apps showing this problem and are fixed in gnome. So I installed gnome and tried the work arounds but they didn't affect anything when running kde. Now qt apps like dolphin are OK in gnome (maybe always were for me?) but still see bad fonts in KDE.
By the way, I had returned the anti-alias and dpi settings in KDE to their original setting (disabled/system settings) and the fonts are still unreadable in KDE 4.2 apps (but OK when run in gnome). -- Subpixel/Lcd mode with VRGB/VBGR makes qt4 applications on Jaunty unreadable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/334657 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
