If my Konqueror 3.1.1 displays a Webpage containing the german character o-umlaut (
If my Konqueror 3.1.1 displays a Webpage containing the german character o-umlaut (ö) in Helvetica, bold and size 21px or 22 px, it does not show this particular character. A different font-family works, not bold works, other sizes work, mozilla works - just the combination described above does not. A snapshot, how it looks on my computer is here: http://www.wolle-hamburg.de/Bugs/fonttest/snapshot1.png I use Gentoo 1.4_rc4, KDE 3.1.1a Athlon-tbird on EPoX 8KTA3/+ ATI Xpert@Work (Rage Pro) xfree 4.3.0-r2 xfs I asked for help in a forum, but I still don't know the component where the bug might be: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=52533 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Just open http://www.wolle-hamburg.de/Bugs/fonttest/Fonttest.html with konqueror
i can't reproduced this bug, tried re-emerging freetype and fontconfig?
emerge sync; emerge -U world # was already up to date I re-emerged: freetype-2.1.4 freetype-1.3.1-r3 fontconfig-2.1-r1 ttmkfdir-3.0.9 xfree-4.3.0-r2 reboot - and the bug is still there
If all else fails, trying the following could also help. (While the fontconfig concept is great, it's continuing breackage really sucks.) cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts chmod -R a+r . chmod -R u+w . ls |while read in do (cd $in; mkfontscale; mkfontdir;) done find -name "fonts.cache*" -exec rm {} \; fc-cache -v <Restart X> Unfortunately I must also note that it seems that qt does not handle fonts that are not available as core fonts, but are available through fontconfig.
At this point I get lost what's happening, but this is the result: ~ $ su Password: /home/wolle $ ./bugscript ./bugscript: line 6: cd: fonts.cache-1: Not a directory fc-cache: "/usr/share/fonts": skipping, 0 fonts, 1 dirs fc-cache: "/usr/share/fonts/afms": skipping, 0 fonts, 1 dirs fc-cache: "/usr/share/fonts/afms/adobe": skipping, 0 fonts, 0 dirs fc-cache: "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts": caching, 0 fonts, 13 dirs fc-cache: "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local": caching, 0 fonts, 0 dirs fc-cache: "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings": caching, 0 fonts, 1 dirs fc-cache: "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings/large": caching, 0 fonts, 0 dirs fc-cache: "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/util": caching, 0 fonts, 0 dirs fc-cache: "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc": caching, 51 fonts, 0 dirs fc-cache: "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi": caching, 348 fonts, 0 dirs fc-cache: "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi": caching, 358 fonts, 0 dirs fc-cache: "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic": caching, 0 fonts, 0 dirs fc-cache: "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo": caching, 0 fonts, 0 dirs fc-cache: "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1": caching, 29 fonts, 0 dirs fc-cache: "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID": caching, 0 fonts, 0 dirs fc-cache: "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF": caching, 12 fonts, 0 dirs fc-cache: "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype": caching, 30 fonts, 0 dirs fc-cache: "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ukr": caching, 0 fonts, 0 dirs fc-cache: "/root/.fonts": no such directory, skipping fc-cache: succeeded /home/wolle $ reboot - unfortunately the same as before
What the script tries to do is to regenerate your fonts configuration. From your results I can see that you either don't have the newest fontconfig, or don't have a good configuration. Try to update to the newest fontconfig (2.2) and disable /etc/fonts/local.conf (rename it). Unfortunately fontconfig and xft do not work yet the way they are supposed to work. Also the support for fontconfig in qt is incomplete as it has problems with fonts that are not also core fonts (visible with xlsfonts).
I updated to fontconfig-2.2.0-r2, renamed /etc/fonts/local.conf <reboot> I re-emerged qt, kdelibs, kdebase I ran the script from comment #3 again (this is the output): ~ $ su Password: /home/wolle $ ./bugscript ./bugscript: line 6: cd: fonts.dir: Not a directory ./bugscript: line 6: cd: fonts.scale: Not a directory fc-cache: "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1": caching, 29 fonts, 0 dirs fc-cache: "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype": caching, 30 fonts, 0 dirs fc-cache: "/usr/share/fonts": skipping, 0 fonts, 1 dirs fc-cache: "/usr/share/fonts/afms": skipping, 0 fonts, 1 dirs fc-cache: "/usr/share/fonts/afms/adobe": skipping, 0 fonts, 0 dirs fc-cache: "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi": caching, 348 fonts, 0 dirs fc-cache: "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi": caching, 358 fonts, 0 dirs fc-cache: "/root/.fonts": skipping, no such directory fc-cache: succeeded /home/wolle $ nothing helps ~ $ xlsfonts | grep helvetica | wc 1040 1040 64780 ~ $ xlsfonts | grep adobe-helvetica | wc 1040 1040 64780 ~ $ For me it's ok to stop working on this "flaw" now. If you don't mind, change resolution for this bug to CANTFIX or whatever. Thanks anyway Wofgang
As requested.
