QFontDatabase errors, fixed-width fonts
Hey everyone,
I'm having an irritating problem with my rather fresh Debian woody desktop
system. I verified that the same problem exists on another Debian system as
well. Both running 2.4.18 Debian kernel.
It's very simple to reproduce. Just run a KDE app like konsole or kcontrol
(preferably from a shell so that you can see error msgs). Go to a
configuration where you must pick a fixed-width font. In konsole, this is
the Font->Custom menu since konsole will only allow fixed-width fonts. In
kcontrol, go to Look & Feel->Fonts->Fixed Width->Choose.
Opening the font selection box will dump out a bunch of QFontDatabase
errors, such as:
QFontDatabase::font: Style not found for console, Normal, iso8859-1
The amount of these errors seems to depend on how many fonts you have
installed, from what I can guess.
This is probably harmless except for one thing. I want to use a custom size
of the "console" font in konsole, but it isn't listed in the font selection.
Why not? It's a fixed-width font. In fact konsole chooses the "console"
font if you choose the "Linux" font (although this was also broken for some
reason on one of my systems - I had to add /usr/share/fonts to xfs's font
path).
Can anyone shed some light on this?
Thanks!
Carl
