   I have installed Mandrake 7.1 beta2 iso (new installation) and I have
 found that KDE applications, including kwm, don't work at all. All of them
 (besides kwm, I have tested several in gnome) return:
 
   QFont::load: Internal error
 
   I have just updated to beta3 today (upgrade) and I still have the
 problem. My computer is an Acer TravelMate 513TE notebook. 

It may be because of the locale. We had such problems with Romanian
language, but not with spanish.

Can you retry with other languages? such as english, french..

  Bingo!. You are right, language is the problem. I have renamed
  /etc/sysconfig/i18n to /etc/sysconfig/i18n.old and KDE works well now (in

  without manual editing /etc/sysconfig/i18n file? Is there any utility for doing

you can create a $HOME/.i18n if you want a user to have different settings
than the default.

You can also set some environment variables before launching a program.
KDE uses KDE_LANG, while others use LANGUAGE (why KDE doesn't like LANGUAGE
I don't know); and there is also LC_ALL; that one specifically set the
fontset to use; so you can launch konsole like this:

KDE_LANG=C LC_ALL=C konsole 

(and even make a /bin/konsole bash script like this:

#!/bin/bash
export KDE_LANG=C
export LC_ALL=C
exec /usr/bin/konsole


As /bin is generally before /usr/bin on path that will launch the script
when you just ask for "konsole" (without explicit path)

  that? When you have a solution for this problem, send me an e-mail and I will
  test it.
 
 I'm carbon-copying to our specialist. I don't know enough to give you the
 best solution. Pablo, can you tell him? It would be nice to copy your
 answer to cooker, also :-).

ok.
