Description Hongjiu Zhang 2008-08-08 16:32:53 UTC

After x11-libs/qt:4 installed, the sans serif font was forced to be replaced with helvetica. Although we can "edit" the rules in qtconfig, but the edit about this font won't save. It should be changed freely.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=447298 Fedora gives out the solution:

I am also experiencing this problem since upgrading from fontconfig 2.4.2.

this doesn't seem valid anymore
