Package: konsole
Version: 4:3.3.2-1
Severity: normal
Hi, the subject says it all. I've followed the directions in
README.Linux-font and I still can't get the Linux font working in
Konsole. I get the following error message:
Font `-misc-console-medium-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-80-iso10646-1' not
found.
Check /usr/share/doc/konsole/README.Linux-font for help.
FWIW I'm able to view the above font just fine in xfontsel. I also
don't think this is a problem with my fontconfig configuration because
my /etc/fonts/{fonts.conf,local.conf} files match character-for-character
files on another machine where the Linux font *does* work. I've tried
turning on and off anti-aliasing, deleting my user's .fonts.conf file,
even starting with a fresh test user. Nothing works.
If there's anything I can do to give you more information, please let me
know.
Cheers,
Brian

Dammit dammit dammit. This was a permissions problem.
Somehow /etc/fonts/local.conf was 0600, probably because I accidentally
set root's umask to 077 for a brief period of time.
I'm _really_ sorry to waste your time!
