Font madness again

2001-10-29 Thread Storm Linux User
I had real strange problems with fonts. Similar to what some have described elsewhere. I would open preferences->look&feel->fonts, and the selection would be very limited. Konsole would have unreadable fonts. If I deleted kdeglobalsrc, things would get back to relatively normal, then all of a s

John, This was my fault. I too am in a learning curve; in my case, how to migrate cleanly from drafting in a word processor to clean HTML. The ``blank lines'' in my draft apt guide are default HTML line leading, not actual blank line separators. Sorry for the confusion. On 28 Oct 2001 at 19:53
