I recently updated to KDE 3.1 / Qt 3.1.0-r2. Now some fonts seem to be broken under KDE: Charter, Clearlyu, Fixed, Helvetica, Lucida, New Century Schoolbook, Terminal, Times Instead of their characters, only boxes are displayes. This is especially annoying as Helvetica is the Qt-Standard font. qtconfig displays those fonts as it should, only KDE is unable to do so. All other fonts work fine. Before the update, with Qt-3.1.0-r1 and KDE-3.1_rc5 everything ran fine, the only USE-Flag I changed in between was adding "cups" which affects the Qt-build. output of emerge info: Portage 2.0.46-r9 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.1, glibc-2.3.1-r3) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.20-gentoo-r1 i586 AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" USE="x86 oss apm avi libg++ libwww mikmod mmx ncurses pdflib qtmt quicktime spell xv gdbm berkdb slang readline svga tcltk sdl gpm tcpd python motif cdr 3dfx 3dnow alsa arts cups crypt -dvd encode -esd gif gtk gtk2 -gnome imlib java jpeg kde mozilla mpeg nls oggvorbis opengl pam perl png qt samba ssl tiff truetype voodoo3 xml xml2 X xmms zlib" COMPILER="gcc3" CHOST="i586-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=k6-2 -mcpu=k6-2 -O3 -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-march=k6-2 -mcpu=k6-2 -O3 -pipe" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" MAKEOPTS="-j2" AUTOCLEAN="yes" SYNC="rsync://rsync.de.gentoo.org/gentoo-x86-portage" FEATURES="sandbox ccache"
Hmmm, I think, I found a duplicate of this, sorry. #13201 My KDE is according to "ldd kdesktop" indeed linked against the X11-Freetype. Anyone found a solution already?
What revision of xfree do you have? Azarah said in bug #5305 this should be fixed in xfree-4.2.1-r2.
I have xfree-4.2.1-r2 installed, and I had it installed before emerging kde-3.1. What do you suggest ? The order of merging was: xfree-4.2.1-r2 qt-3.0.5 kde-3.1_rc5 xfree-4.2.1-r2 (because of missing "voodoo3"-USE-flag) qt-3.1.0-r2 kde-3.1
Just updated to xfree-4.2.99.4 Now the fonts are working again
this seems to be a duplicate of #13472, please emerge (new, masked) freetype and fontconfig.
see bug 13472 for fix. please mark as dupe
