Many thanks for your fast response - I was not able to identify a section which describes "bitmapped fonts" - therefore I did a "dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig". The Installation-dialog asks me about activateing bitmapped-fonts and I answered this positively. After that I restarted my xserver - but the problem still occures.

It is a fontconfig problem - fontconfig defaults changed to not using bitmapped fonts. Edit /etc/fonts/local.conf and uncomment the section to allow bitmapped fonts. Josh Metzler
Problems with "fixed width" fonts
Hi ! I'm using kde-3.0.5/kde-3.2 from unstable and I have big trouble with fonts. The "fixed width"-fonts are looking ugly blurred, and are closly to be unreadable. If I try to change to another "fixed width" font in the kontrolcenter I only have one font named "fixed" in my font-selection. A friend has almost 10 possibilities to select - what could be wrong with my setup ? I'm not sure if this is a XFree or a KDE-problem. My Xf86Config-font-section looks like this: -- FontPath"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi" FontPath"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled" FontPath"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi" FontPath"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled" FontPath"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings" FontPath"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/kwintv" FontPath"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/latin2/100dpi" FontPath"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/latin2/75dpi" FontPath"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/latin2/misc" FontPath"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/latin2/Type1" FontPath"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/latin7/75dpi" FontPath"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local" FontPath"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" FontPath"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc" FontPath"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled" FontPath"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/PEX" FontPath"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/" FontPath"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo" FontPath"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype" FontPath"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType" FontPath"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/" FontPath"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1" FontPath"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ucs/100dpi" FontPath"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ucs/75dpi" FontPath"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ucs/misc" FontPath"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/uni" -- My font-dir looks like this: -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]: # ll /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ total 180 drwxr-xr-x2 root root65536 Jan 10 22:20 100dpi drwxr-xr-x2 root root65536 Jan 10 22:20 75dpi drwxr-xr-x2 root root 4096 Jan 10 22:20 PEX drwxr-xr-x2 root root 4096 Jan 10 22:20 Speedo drwxr-xr-x2 root root 4096 Jan 10 22:20 TrueType drwxr-xr-x2 root root 4096 Jan 10 22:20 Type1 drwxr-xr-x3 root root 4096 Jan 10 22:20 encodings -rw-r--r--1 root root 158 Mar 11 17:33 fonts.cache-1 drwxr-xr-x2 root root16384 Mar 11 17:25 misc drwxr-xr-x2 root root 4096 Jan 10 22:20 util -- Best regards Marc Schoechlin -- Marc Schoechlin | LF.net GmbH| fon +49 711 90074-413 | Ruppmannstr. 27| fax +49 711 90074-33 [EMAIL PROTECTED]| D-70565 Stuttgart | http://www.lf.net
