[KDE 3.2] very strange font problems
Hi and hello, i have some serious font problems with KDE 3.2 for Debian Woody. For better understanding i made some screenshots you can see here: http://test.thermoman.de/kde/kde_font_problems.htm The main problem as i figured out now is: I run KDE 3.1.4 with 75dpi fonts and all is fine as you can see on the left screenshots in above website. If i switch to 100dpi fonts (still KDE 3.1.4) font's are getting ugly like on these screenshots of KDE 3.2 on the right side. When i upgrade my KDE from 3.1.4 to 3.2.0 and then start KDE, it behaves like KDE 3.1.4 in 100dpi mode - fonts are ugly big (right side of screenshots) at 9pt and much to small in 8pt - thats the reason why i run KDE 3.1.4 in 75dpi mode - here it's: 8pt < 9pt < 10pt. In KDE 3.2.0 (set to 75dpi which behaves like 100dpi 3.1.4) it's: 8pt < 9pt = 10pt There is still 1 difference between 9pt and 10pt: The 9pt font is cut off at the top and the bottom so underscores and the dots on ÖÄÜ aren't visible (see http://test.thermoman.de/kde/kde_3.2_helvetica2.png [edit field]) Other problem: In KDE 3.1.4 there is a fixed font called Courier [Bitstream], which is *not* available in KDE 3.2.0 (see screenshots). I tested so much: with and without xfs-xtt, deleted ~/.kde and started from zero, compared output from 'xlsfonts' in KDE 3.1.4 and KDE 3.2.0 (only 2 konsole fonts changed, Courier [Bitstream] is still listed in 3.2.0 ...) but nothing helped. Someone in #debian-kde pointed me to this mailing list so i address this to you and am waiting for suggestions :) PS: Sure, i changed the 75/100dpi lines in XF86Config-4 and xfs-xtt config when changed X parameter from -dpi 75 to 100 and vice versa. PPS: Is this bug(?) shown at the end of my mentioned page known? I couldn't find something related in bugs.kde.org Marcel (i am subscribed to the mailing list) -- http://debian.thermoman.de/
KDE3.2/sid: /usr/share/applications/kde vs. /usr/share/applnk
I just upgraded to KDE3.2 on a sid system from "people.debian.org/~ccheney" resp. "people.debian.org/~bab". In kde < 3.2 .desktop files for user applications used to reside in /usr/share/applnk. Now, some files reside in /usr/share/applications/kde (such as, e.g. "kaddressbook.desktop") and hence do not appear in the menus any more. Is that a systematic change? Should I use symlinks from "usr/share/applications/kde/*" to "/usr/share/applnk/"? Martin
kopete menus problem
hi running 3.1.5 on debian/unstable i can't have the proper kopete menu. the main window (the one showing contacts) only has : CChat / Format /Tabs /Edit/Settings/Help and Format menu is empty, chat has only Quit. and so on..every thing seems to be corrupted. other kde apps seems to work properly.. any idea how to fix ? thanks Valerio Italy
First KDE3.2 wrinkle
Hi, Just installed KDE3.2 on a system, and noticed one *TINY* thing: The KPersonalizer wizard which appears on a new user logging in for the first time doesn't seem to have Plastik as an option in the style chooser for me. I can turn it on via Kontrol Centre but it's just that KPersonalizer doesn't have it, either as a default (preferable?) or at all David

Re: "Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation and try again."
Hi! I don't know exactly what's the problem, but I could solve it by downloading the qt sources (from the kde servers) and dpkg-buildpackage (i.e. recompile of qt into a debian package). I'm using gcc 2.95.4 on a woody system.

I just degraded libfreetype6 to 2.0.9 and %subject% error is gone. see: http://lists.debian.org/debian-kde/2004/debian-kde-200402/msg00083.html You also have a too recent libfreetype6 installed - that come with your XFree 4.3.x backport. See: http://lists.debian.org/debian-x/2004/debian-x-200401/msg01050.html Either downgrade to XFree 4.2.1 woody backport or compile your own libqt3 against the recent libfreetype6. __ /oby
