Package: defoma, xserver-xfree86, xfs, msttcorefonts, libfreetype6 Version: latest Debian 3.1 "sarge" stable releases from apt (used r0a DVDs to install)
Hi, I've had my computer set up with Debian a few months ago (before the last apt update) without having any problems. Today, due to unforseen circumstances I had to install a fresh copy of Debian. 7 times I install it again and again thingking I have done something wrong. TrueType fonts (msttcorefonts) are displayed OK within the interface of fluxbox (titlebar of windows, toolbar, menubar), but not in any application started. For example Mozilla Firefox (1.5.0.3 pre-compiled binaries from mozilla.com) or Bluefish (from apt) display fonts a little blurred and not as tiny as they should appear which is very annoying. However, KDE has no problems rendering them tiny and thin which is very strange (I don't like desktop environments so I prefer Window Managers). I configured X as follows: 1. dpkg-reconfigure -plow fontconfig (Native [for CRT] with Automatic render and Bitmap Fonts enabled) 2. dpkg-reconfigure x-ttcidfont-conf (freetype mode) 3. added/remove the requested lines to /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and /etc/X11/fs/config 4. Installed msttcorefonts 5. Used defoma-reconfigure to regenerate font cache Another possible bug is that I cannot cycle through the layouts of the keyboard using an xkb rule in the configuration file of X. I'm attaching a copy of XF86Config-4 and /etc/X11/fs/config for reference. P.S. I compared the old XF86Config-4 of the previous installation which was OK and found no difference. Regards, Victor
