Re: Weird font problem



Quoting "cobaco (aka Bart Cornelis)" <cobaco@linux.be>:

Hi all,

I have a weird font problem on my new laptop:

How did you install the system, did you use the "desktop" task or manual
package selection? In other words, is it possible that some "standard" font
packages are missing?

Did you copy your home directory from another installation to the new laptop?
In that case there might be a configuration file referring to a font that is
missing on the laptop.

Fonts in X only work for kde4 apps, everything else (Iceweasel, openoffice,
gnome in general, and kde3 apps) looks like the attached screenshot.

I've already tried:
- running 'fc-cache -fv'
- running 'dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config'
- running 'defoma-reconfigure'

pakcage versions are:
fontconfig 2.6.0-1
fontconfig-config 2.6.0-1
defoma 0.11.10-0.2

I'm completely stumped, anybody have any ideas about what to try/check?

What do you get from these commands:

grep -Ei 'font|freetype' /var/log/Xorg.0.log

grep -i font ~/.kderc ~/.gtkrc-2.0

grep -i font ~/.xsession-errors | sort -u

(Not sitting at a Linux machine at the moment, I typed the above commands
 from memory. There might be mistakes, especially in the filenames.)

P.S. please CC me as I'm not subscribed
