Bug#289468: kde 3.3.1 - font broken since upgrade



Package: kdebase
Version: 3.3.1

Hallo,

first I have to say that I am not fully sure whether this is a
problem in KDE or one in XFree and I am therefore unsure against
which package to open this bug. Feel free to reassign it as you
see fit.

I am running Sarge and have run a dist-upgrade yesterday, which
has upgraded both XFree (to 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10) and KDE from 3.2.3
to 3.3.1. 

The XFree version I was running before was essentially the same -
the sources of XFree 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 from Sid compiled on Sarge,
as 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 was a security update. They have now just been
replaced by the "official" 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10.

KDE has been updated from 3.2.3 to 3.3.1 and now the konsole
default font looks very strange. It is very uneven, bold and with
a very wide spacing; it looks a bit like a variable spaced vector
font scaled to a small size and then set in monospace (please cf.
the attached screenshot). This is only the case for the "Normal"
resp. "Medium" font, all other sizes (Tiny, Small, Large and
Huge) look normal. If I select "custom font" in the konsole menu,
the font is shown as "Fixed[Misc] Regular 13". Most of the other
sizes in the selection dialog look ok. If one compares the font
in the sizes of 10,13,14,15 and 18, the 13 and the 18 do not fit
into the picture. 10,14 and 15 look like different scalings of
the same font, while the 13 seems to come from another, more
"roundish" font.

The problem is independent from the user account. I have created
a new testuser without existing KDE config and the behaviour
there is exactly the same. I have also tried to look at the font
in xfontsel, but the font -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-13-
looks ok there.

Regards,
Karsten
