------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-26-09 09:44 ------- The postinstall script of fontconfig has this: postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh): /usr/bin/fc-cache -f >/dev/null I'm sure there's also some script that starts fontconfig for the user, maybe an X startup script? -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: In one of my machines, where I ran ML 9.0, then 9.1 and now current cooker, I had a longstanding problem with fonts. I could get them to work fine under KDE (antialiased fonts), but then Gnome apps and Mozilla had ugly fonts, etc. Even DrakConf had ugly fonts. Long story short. I deleted all the ~/.font* files and I ran fc-cache as a normal user, and I fixed most of the problems. Except for DrakConf, that is ran as root. Then I deleted /root/.font* and run fc-cache as root and now everything is ok. It looks like I had some old crap in these files ruining my xfs behavior. Shouldn't this processed be done automatically by some postinstall script after installing fontconfig, a new Xserver o new fonts ? Also, there was a problem with KDE previews a month ago or so, that was solved by running fc-cache as root. fc-cache runs very fast, so it's not an issue to include it in post-install scripts IMHO ...
