Bug#825520: closed by Maximiliano Curia <m...@debian.org> (Re: Bug#825520: plasma-desktop: fonts in kde application launcher have wrong size)
It works for me too. I upgraded to 5.6 last night/today in two machines the fonts are ok again. I didn't try to change them to see if this has any effect (it should have).

Go figure. I have to say, I've been a correct-DPI stickler since I began using X and have never had ugly fonts for which my DPI setting was the problem. I wonder if the ugly fonts are not due to some other mis-configuration like anti-aliasing not working rather than DPI. It's such a shame that KDE isn't being lauded for being sensible and GNOME/MS ridiculed. In particular on Windows; most people with fancy, high resolution displays can't read the text on them because they can't change DPI without rendering every dialog box useless. What on earth is the meaning of the term dots per inch when it is fixed at 96? I suggest renaming it to RDR (Random Dot Ratio).

On a related note, NEVER use Arial or Verdana as specific CSS fonts. Any users who actually like Arial already have it set as their sans-serif font, so just specific sans-serif for Arial. Verdana ain't that great either. Also, make sure to specific sans-serif, serif, monospace, or any of the other CSS generic font families as your last resort; otherwise, your CSS won't validate. -- Matt Sicker pgpdQsI2V2oSD.pgp Description: PGP signature

If it can't you can always set it manually with the DisplaySize option in /etc/X11/xorg.conf's Monitor section. With a recent reinstall, KDM did not have such a default. Unless your monitor is not removable from the card (e.g. a laptop), you should always give the DisplaySize option (in case that the monitor is off during start of X). It's a bit of hassle to set up, but I really recommend putting the effort in. I agree. Especially on displays with a higher resolution, it gives you a small wow-effect. KDE is the only desktop that seems to respect DPI size, No. GNOME has taken the crazy MS route of saying all displays are 96dpi. AFAIK, you can still set it to system settings. The advantage is that you can use the same KDE settings on different computers, and always have the fonts come out at a comfortable size for you. The problem surely is badly programmed softeware. I recently saw what firefox does on a high resolution display (10 laptop): I was not amused. It just sucks, under Windows more than Linux but that is just relative to needs more work, better than old Mozilla, though. Some of it surely relates to wrong website programming. After all those years, they just don't get it :-( And whatever you think of it: do not try this under Windows. It kind of works but is _really_ ugly and most programs fail to work correctly. I hope they get this fixed with Windows Vista, they have to catch up a lot. HS -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

* Reuben Peterkin [Sun, 02 May 2004 19:23:27 -0700]: After upgrading to KDE 3.2, all the fonts (gtk/qt/kde apps) are shown -2 the size selected in the font config.

(strange) problem with fixed fonts in kde and konsole
Hi! I have encountered strange problem with fonts on one sid machine with Kde 3.1.4. Problem is, that font dialog in Control Center - Appearance Themes - Fonts for Fixed width fonts offers only one variant of fixed font, which looks quite ugly in all sizes. However font dialog for any other font category (general, toolbar, menu, ...) show all available fonts, both bitmap and truetype, even various fixed variants (elt, misc, sony, ...). Same problem occurs in konsole. When I try to choose Linux or Unicode font in konsole, I get error message about non-existent font, which also suggests looking into README.linux.console, which does not seem to be in any debian package. Other kde applications (kate, kile, ...) does not seem to be affected. This problem occurs for every user but one! For that one user, everything works flawlessly, font dialog in both konsole and Control Center shows also other fonts. I tried to create new user and use kde config files from user, which works fine, but without success. I also don't remember doing any nasty changes in global config. Any ideas? While experimenting I realized, that on one other sid machine with Kde 3.1.5, font dialog shows only one Fixed font, not all variants (elt, misc, sony, ...), however gtkfontsel shows them separately. Can anyone explain why? Thanks a lot in advance! th. PS: Please, CC your replies also to my private mail, thanks.

no fonts in KDE with XFree86 4.3.0
Hi, I have to ask for a little help. I have a woody system with KDE 3.1.3 and XFree86 4.3.0 backports (I couldn't make Radeon M9 card work with 4.2.1 version of X). My problem is that if I try to use anti-aliased fonts, all fonts dissapear from kde applications. Other apps seem to work ok (but, they don't use anti-aliased fonts anyway). Instead of letters I get wide blank spaces. I looked in /var/log/XFree86.0.log and I found these lines at the bottom, which may be related to the problem: Warning: font renderer for .pcf already registered at priority 0 Warning: font renderer for .pcf.Z already registered at priority 0 Warning: font renderer for .pcf.gz already registered at priority 0 Warning: font renderer for .snf already registered at priority 0 Warning: font renderer for .snf.Z already registered at priority 0 Warning: font renderer for .snf.gz already registered at priority 0 Warning: font renderer for .bdf already registered at priority 0 (...) I am currently using nobse XFree86 backport, but the same thing happened when I used Daniel Stone's packages, so I guess *I* am doing something wrong here. If anyone has an idea how to fix this problem please let me know. Any help is welcome. Below I attach my XFree86.0.log, just in case.

Hi, I have the opposite problem. Printing from KDE is fine and works beautifully, but printing from OOo into a PS file, and converting this PS file into PDF, makes the PDF huge (we're talking about 1-2MB for a single page file without graphics), and the fonts look like they've been compressed with JPEG at quality level ultra low.

Re: Printing TT fonts from KDE Apps
How can I change this? I need to be able to publish Office files as PDF. Did you try using kprinter as the generic printer in OO yet ? As Ralf suggests, using kprinter as the output for OOo (and other non-KDE apps, such as Mozilla or Acrobat Reader) is probably your best bet; you can then print to any printer set up in KDE, including the Print to PDF function. I just did a test and a two-page OOo text document turned into a 4k PDF file. Here's how to set it up: 1. run spadmin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] $ cd /usr/lib/openoffice/program [EMAIL PROTECTED] $ ./spadmin 2. Set up a printer; either edit the properties of the generic printer (if there), or set up a new one. 3. In the Select Command box, type: kprinter --stdin 4. Select your default paper size. 5. Click Test Page - the Kprinter dialogue should come up. Try it out, or cancel as you want. 6. Click on Default to make this the default printer, and click Close This also allows you to access any printers set up in kprinter without having to recreate them in OpenOffice. For Mozilla, just put kprinter --stdin in the Printer Command box. For some apps, i.e. Acrobat Reader, you just need kprinter, without the --stdin. By the way, my problem with TT fonts (at least the problem with all TT fonts printing as Helvetica) seemed to be solved by selecting Embed Fonts in Postscript Data in the system options in Kprinter; the blocky fonts problem seemed to be specific to KCDLabel, and I solved that by using OOo Draw to create my CD labels - which worked great.

Printing TT fonts from KDE Apps
I have looked through the recent posts about problems using truetype fonts in KDE, but am not entirely sure what the result was, or if my problem is caused by these issues. I am running KDE 3.1.1 from Ralf's debs, on a mixed Woody/Sid system. I haven't done any manual tweaking of configuration files (mostly because I don't know what I am doing), I just installed all the fonts from the KDE control panel font installer. My problem is that truetype fonts, when used in KDE apps, display properly (antialiased or not), but, depending on which app I am printing from, either print out as helvetica (or something similar), or as jagged bitmaps reminiscent of Windows 2.2 without ATM (for those of you who recall the late 80's). The problem is only with KDE apps; TT fonts print fine from OpenOffice - even when piped through kprinter (I use kprinter --stdin as the print command for OO, Mozilla, Acrobat Reader, etc.). If I print a sample of 5 TT fonts from KWord, all but courier will print as helvetica. It looks as though in this case, some decision is made by the system I can't print these fonts, so I am going to default to helvetica. Printing to a PS file looks perfect, but then printing the file to paper will also map everything to helvetica. For other programs, such as KCDLabel, the fonts print out as jagged bitmaps. The decision made by the system here seems to be I can't print these fonts, so I am going to convert them to terrible looking bitmaps. Interestingly, for kcdlabel, if I print the label to a PS file, it looks the same as when printed - jagged bitmaps. The following packages are installed: defoma 0.11.0 fontconfig 2.1.92-2 libfreetype62.1.3+2.1.4rc2-3 Apologies if this has been answered, but if it was I don't know enough about how font servers work to figure it out.

Re: Printing TT fonts from KDE Apps
Le Dimanche 16 Mars 2003 19:07, Bruce a écrit : I had also problem printing from Konqueror with screwed TT fonts.

Re: Printing TT fonts from KDE Apps
After mucking about with things a bit more, and uninstalling and reinstalling all truetype fonts using the KDE Font Installer, truetype fonts now print fine from KWord. However, KCDLabel still only will print the rough bitmaps. I am guessing this may be a bug in kcdlabel, so will look into that. Bruce

Fonts on KDE
I've got Debian sid (2.4.18 kernel) with kde 2.2.2 installed on my Omnibook 500. I'm having a hard time getting fonts to behave. Is there a decent FAQ covering font installation? I'd really love something with a troubleshooting diagram. I have anti-aliasing working. My problem is KDE itself only seems to recognize about 10 fonts in the look Feel:Fonts panel (courier 10 pitch, nimbus, a few others). KDE will render Helvitica but I can't select it in the picker. KWord also seems to let me select from about 10 different fonts. This is a KDE problem since gfontsel seems to recognize over 100 fonts, including my true type fonts, but it has problems with some (not all) 2 byte fonts. gfontview seems to render everything as long as I point it at the right directory. Crufty old xfontsel seems to recongnize all my fonts and renders them just fine. xlsfonts | wc -l gives 5462, so there are plenty of fonts installed as far as X is concerned. How do I get KDE to at least recognize my TT fonts? Thanks for any help Charlie.

Charlie, It just so happens that I have recently did a fresh install of Debian Woody, then upgraded to testing and installed the msttcorefonts package AND ran into the same problem as you! I had a working KDE system before the re-install, so I had to re-create my previous steps.

My problem is KDE itself only seems to recognize about 10 fonts in the look Feel:Fonts panel (courier 10 pitch, nimbus, a few others). KDE will render Helvitica but I can't select it in the picker. KWord also seems to let me select from about 10 different fonts. This is a KDE problem since gfontsel seems to recognize over 100 fonts, including my true type fonts, but it has problems with some (not all) 2 byte fonts. gfontview seems to render everything as long as I point it at the right directory. Crufty old xfontsel seems to recongnize all my fonts and renders them just fine. xlsfonts | wc -l gives 5462, so there are plenty of fonts installed as far as X is concerned.

Fonts in KDE
Hello everybody. I use KDE version 2.2.2 (woody) and I have a problem with fonts. If I want to change a font from default all font settings change and I can't restore the previous situation (just by selecting a different point, I can always delete some of files in .kde directory or edit them). It has probably to do something with antialiasing. In the font selection dialog there is a posibility to disable (enable) antialiasing, but it doesn't make any difference.
missing gs fonts in KDE
Hello- I've got a stock woody (3.0) box with X4.1 and KDE2.2.2. I recently lost my gs fonts in X after playing around with the AA in KDE2.2.2. After I initially got KDE running, the gs fonts (helvetica, times, symbol, etc) were available to the system. I checked the enable AA fonts box in the control center, restarted KDE, and noticed that many of the gs didn't look as good. I unchecked the AA fonts box, restarted KDE again, and they were all gone. The fonts are available to other X apps, but just not KDE. Any ideas where to begin, or is this a bug that will be worked out in later releases? -Stephen p.s.- please cc: me, I'm not on the list. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Under Openoffice, I have a plethora of truetype fonts available for use. However, openoffice is the only place they show up. Under kword, it lists seven fonts: charter bitstream, courier, courier 10 pitch, three versions of ludicux, and utopia. Those same seven fonts are all this is available under Control Center/Look and Feel/Fonts, under konsole, etc. Shouldn't KDE be able to use ttf's?

Have a look at package anti-aliasing-howto - it provides lots of information for setting up fonts and antialiasing under KDE. Well.

fonts in KDE 2.2.1
Hi I've probably missed something obvious here but I've just installed a new box with Debian (Woody) upgraded from a barebones Potato, and KDE2.2.1 from the testing packages. All is fine apart from the fact that the only font I seem to have in KDE is something that looks a bit like Garamond! No sans serif fonts at all. I downloaded all the font packages that X was complaining about not having but nothing else, I had a look at the packages and I'm not sure which packages I have missed or whether I need to do something to get them into KDE. On a previous installation they just were there. TIA Rachel
Re: fonts in KDE 2.2.1
Hello, perhaps you have chosen Anti-aliasing fonts in the font configuration of the control centre. But only a few fonts (Type1 and True Type Fonts) are supported. So you could either deactivate this feature or install other fonts. Try the msttcorefonts-package. Then you can chose the MS Arial or Verdana as ss font. Sebastian

Is there line like this in your XftConfig file? dir /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 It should be right at the top along with a similar line that references the TrueType font directory. Ciao, Gordon

Anti-aliased fonts in KDE 2.2.1: ``Adobe fonts not available when anti-aliasing enabled
I believe that this topic was already covered in the Debian-KDE list, but I can no longer find the references, even in the mailing list archive. Please forgive me if I have missed the obvious. I have upgraded Libranet Linux 1.9.1 from potato to woody and added KDE 2.2.1 from sid. These upgrades install XFree 4.1.0. I immediately began to experience font problems. In trying to track them down, I updated a number of xfonts, gsfonts, gsfonts-x11 packages. Everything appears to be working now, except that, when anti-aliasing is enabled, the fonts module of KDE Control Center shows none of the standard 35 ``Adobe fonts installed by gsfonts-x11. This is more important than it might sound because the ``default font of KDE is Helvetica which is one of the 35 ``gsfonts. Not surprisingly, KDE is unhappy when it cannot find its default font. If anti-aliasing is disabled, the 35 ``standard Adobe fonts re-appear in the fonts list. (P.S. After each change of anti-aliasing status, KDE needs to be restarted.) Bottom line for the moment: one can have anti-aliasing or the 35 ``standard Adobe fonts but not both. Is there a way to have one's font cake and eat it too?
Only Type1 fonts in kde?
I've upgraded two machines to woody and have been having a problem with fonts. When I first start kde after removing .kde the fonts are fine. When I go to Look and Feel Fonts all of them show up. When I change fonts they change fine. But, after changing font's, I log back into kde all of the fonts have changed to baskerville and only the font's in Type1 show up in the settings. I can fix this by removing .kde but it happens again if I change fonts. These fonts make kterm impossible to use so it's a pain. Anyone know what the problem is? -- B. L.

In that file, make sure that at least all your directories containing truetype-fonts are listed. Also, perhaps you need to set up some font-aliases if you don't get proper fonts.
