Hi folks, On my amd64 machine, I'm having issues where for certain applications, fonts and/or pixmaps will randomly disappear. Has anyone heard of this before? Here is some more info: * This is really noticable with firefox. After loading a web page, or when the window looses focus, and under other hard-to-describe conditions, text will often disappear. Links, which have underlines, keep the underlines, but the actual font glyphs disappear. To "fix" this, I highlight everything with the mouse, then click somewhere benign to deselect and then everything is fine... until the next time it happens. * Konsole. I've been running using icewm, but I like konsole. Everything with konsole will be fine--the menus, window tab-bar, and the actual console view itself never has this problem. However, the pixmaps that should appear on the status bar (kill this window, make a new window, the terminal icons on the tabs) intermitantly disppear. Sometimes they'll reappear randomly when I mouse over them, but not always--I can't easily make it happen on way or another. * Cheesetracker - none of the text ever has any problems, nor any pixmaps in the main window. The toolbar pixmaps randomly disappear and reappear when you mouse over them. * Openoffice (from 32-bit chroot) -- menu text never appears, and I can't get it to. Text entered (say in oowriter) appears while typing, but then disappears, never to return, if you start highlighting, backspacing, or scrolling around. Doesn't seem to have a problem with pixmaps, though. * All sorts of other programs are better/wrose/different, but it NEVER happens with an xterm, it doesn't seem to happen with any of the WM widgets themselves in icewm, and there are lots of programs where it will just never happen. I've tried a bunch of different font-relating things (changing what fonts are installed, changing some settings in /etc/fonts/local.conf, For reference, I'm running pure64 unstable, and using the binary nVidia drivers (because I need 3D acceleration). If anyone has any suggestions, let me know. =) -- Wesley J. Landaker <wjl@icecavern.net> OpenPGP FP: 4135 2A3B 4726 ACC5 9094 0097 F0A9 8A4C 4CD6 E3D2
