Font madness again
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 sudden, strange fonts would show up, and the list as above would be very limited. All this with AA. So, looking at an old message from Ivan, where he had problems with gsfonts and AA. I deleted manually the gsfonts directory in /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts. Then everything started working as expected. Gsfonts is required by j2sdk1.3. I ran JavaPluginControlPanel, and it seems to work. In the dpkg -L listing there are some gnome settings, which may have something to do with the dependancy. This with a 'i386' woody box with latest kde2.2.1 from sid, latest X. Derek

AA filters don't "blur" as such. They are a low-pass filter which removes artifacts in a sampled signal. In this case, the artifacts result from having geometric shapes (lines, fonts etc) which are "analog" and have frequency components higher than your display (a sampling process which represents a geometric line as a sequence of dots) can show. Sampling a signal which has not been band-limited (filtered to remove frequencies higher than half the sampling rate) results in things *appearing where they are not* - that is, the jagged edges which appear even with Type 1 or TrueType fonts with AA turned off. The jagged edges aren't real. AA filters do vary in quality, but basically any functional low-pass filter is better than none. So, in short, if you actually want to see the font, as opposed to a bunch of artifacts, you need to use anti-aliasing. Don't mistake smoothness for blurring. - Daniel -- ** * Daniel Franklin - Postgraduate student in Electrical Engineering * University of Wollongong, NSW, Australia * [EMAIL PROTECTED] **

That's rather impressive.

This did fix my problem with my preferences file! I'm no programmer, but blank lines shouldn't make that kind of difference in a text-format config file, IMHO. However, when KDE2.2.1 finished downloading and tried to install, I got a major list of errors and problems. I tried fixing these using my newly working preferences file, but only got into deeper trouble. The current situation is, I've got a very strange mix of testing and unstable and now KDE is completely FUBAR! I realise this is only my fault. Now I'll have to use Gnome to try to fix it. I think I'll down-rev the system back to testing by setting the pin for testing to 1001 and then wait to see how long it takes KDE2.2.1 to hit my testing mirror. Thanks to everyone who offered advice and rightfully pointed out the excess blank lines as the fault with my preferences, and to Ivan for keeping us in an Up-To-Date KDE! Cheers, John Gay

Now the problem: I copied the same root-fs on a server machine : it only lies there! Then booting works correctly until the point where authorization was required, but when a user wants to login into his session no session occurs ! Only root can login into his X-Session!

In my opinion, the konqueror creates an _unified_ view of different protocols. I don't care about if the underlaying protocol is ftp or http. What I want is a "Save as..." function. Maybe it is needless on local disks, however, I'm tired to "copy / goto home / paste".

It seems to compose a command which has lpr ... -P"printername" ... which looks fine unless, like me, you have printers with alternative names in your /etc/printcap. So I got commands with lpr ... -P"lp|Printer in the Lab" ... for example, which of course failed. But this messed up all applications, not just one. I use xemacs in preference to Kate, although Kate's installed... is there a "Generic (Print through external command)" option to Kate printing? If so, you could try using that with lpr as the external command. That fixed my particular problem. Good luck, Nick/ > > Debian testing/unstable 2.2.9.

printing
I have starting using Kate and find that I cannot print. I use apsfilter and need to be able to output 'lpr filename' for printing to occur. None of the messages make sense to me. Kde print manager seems to be outputting a long complex string which I don't know how to change and console error messages refer to directories different from where my lp files reside. Printing works fine with kedit and non-kde apps. Debian testing/unstable 2.2.9. KDE 2.2.1 How do I enable printing? Thanks John Batistic
