Font madness again
I had real strange problems with fonts. Similar to what some have described
elsewhere. I would open preferences->look&feel->fonts, and the selection
would be very limited. Konsole would have unreadable fonts. If I deleted
kdeglobalsrc, things would get back to relatively normal, then all of a
sudden, strange fonts would show up, and the list as above would be very
limited. All this with AA.
So, looking at an old message from Ivan, where he had problems with gsfonts
and AA. I deleted manually the gsfonts directory in
/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts. Then everything started working as expected.
Gsfonts is required by j2sdk1.3. I ran JavaPluginControlPanel, and it seems
to work. In the dpkg -L listing there are some gnome settings, which may have
something to do with the dependancy.
This with a 'i386' woody box with latest kde2.2.1 from sid, latest X.
