Hi,

First of all I don't think running the command 'fink install kdebase3' is the cause of your problem since it should conflict with kdebase3-ssl, and you had the same problem with Mozilla previously.

Now, do you have any other application running under X (is it XFree86 or X11.app?)?
If so, could you check that they are showing the same problem?
Do you have the list of fonts available to the applications running under X (I suppose you already tried different fonts)?

If it's easier for you we can communicate in French, but we'll take it off this list and just come back when we've found a solution.

Hello everyone,

Sorry for my previous message (subject: mail comite), I made a
mistake trying to bounce back to the mailing list the mail below
(which I could not send from work as my IP seems not to be
accepted for posting on the list).

My problem was :


I had posted some time ago to report a problem with mozilla: it does not display bold fonts as bold (or seem to display all text as bold, I have trouble telling).

On the suggestion of another user, I switched to using konqueror,
which did not present the same problem. I think the version I installed
was the binary version of package kdebase3-ssl, but am not sure.

Since then I have made some installs, which did not seem to change
anything, and last night I ran 'fink install kdebase3'.
(I realize just now I made a mistake in installing kdebase3 instead
of kdebase3-ssl). Since then, konqueror does not make a difference
between bold and non-bold fonts anymore, exactly as mozilla
(no need to say this has not improved mozilla's behaviour...)

What is very strange, is that when I ask fink to list kdebase3 related
packages, I get the following:
[Berlin ~/bordel]$ fink list kdebase3
Information about 4511 packages read in 14 seconds.
kdebase3 3.3.2-21 KDE - base system
kdebase3-dev 3.3.2-21 KDE - base development headers and libraries
kdebase3-shlibs 3.3.2-21 KDE - base shared libraries
(i) kdebase3-ssl 3.3.2-21 KDE - base system (with SSL)
kdebase3-ssl... 3.3.2-21 KDE - base development headers and libraries
(i) kdebase3-ssl... 3.3.2-21 KDE - base shared libraries

this seems to imply that kdebase3 was not installed, although I am
quite sure I ran  'sudo fink install kdebase3' (I can find this
command in my history), and it completed with no error.

If anyone is interested, I have posted my list of installed packages
at some time after my problem with mozilla and before the problem
with konqueror, as well as my current list of installed packages,
at:
http://www.liafa.jussieu.fr/~magnien/fink_list_old and
http://www.liafa.jussieu.fr/~magnien/fink_list_new

I also posted the output of
diff fink_list_old fink_list_new
at:
http://www.liafa.jussieu.fr/~magnien/fink_list_diff

If anyone has any clue on what might be causing this bold font
problem, I would be extremely grateful (as well as completely
willing to perform various tests and experiments if need be).

Thanks and sorry for the lengthy message,
Clemence
