Re: kde and fonts
I am seeing an identical problem.
I have KDE unstable installed on two different systems (one at home and one at
work). Both exhibit identical behavior to that described Mino below. The KDE
font chooser does not list the full set of fonts on the system. Konsole is
the worst, there is a single, fixed width font to choose and it is not
pleasing to the eyes.
Although I am not 100% certain, I believe the problem first surfaced after
installing KDE 2.1 I do not believe that this problem was present in the last
beta.
If more information is needed, please let me know.
