Ran qtconfig, picked Liberation Sans font at 9 pt. Now, everything looks fine. Did the same procedue for root and so far things appear to be working well. In case of any deviations, I will get back to the list. Thanks for the help.

QT weirdness rather than anything to do with the distribution, I'd say. (Other than the QT version the distribution is supplying, that is.)

Same problem here, Debian Squeeze/Testing amd64, Gnome, using e.g. LyX or Kile. There seems to be something wrong with the way qtconfig loads its settings when you're a normal user. However, as root, it works... $ su $ qtconfig [*qtconfig is displaying crappy looking Sans Serif*, setting a better looking font, saving, *qtconfig now displays the good looking font I chose*, closing qtconfig] $ lyx Hey, LyX now has good looking fonts (and yes, I launched it as root, which is probably not the best way to use it)... As a normal user, doing exactly the same process : $ qtconfig [*qtconfig is displaying crappy looking Sans Serif*, setting a better looking font, saving, *qtconfig now displays the good looking font I chose*, closing qtconfig] $ lyx LyX still uses the crappy looking Sans Serif font. When restarting qtconfig, qtconfig also uses it again. Does anyone know where qtconfig saves its config? I thought it was in ~/.config/Trolltech.conf, but it looks like I'm wrong. $ cat /home/jf/.config/Trolltech.conf | grep font font="Trebuchet MS,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0" fontpa...@invalid() $ cat /root/.config/Trolltech.conf | grep font font="Trebuchet MS,9,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0" fontpa...@invalid() (I guess the "fontpa...@invalid" is not a problem, as it causes no problem as root) (sorry for my crappy english) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Fonts looking bad on qt apps
Hello, Presently am running 64 bit debian testing on my machine. I am also running 32 bit version on a different machine. So far, everything is working fine. But, I noticed that the fonts in qt apps like unetbootin, virtualbox, vlc look crappy on the 64 bit system whereas they appear fine on the 32 bit system. FWIW, I use either xfce4 or openbox as my window manger/desktop. I checked that dpkg -l | grep qt on both the machines are identical. Any one else has noticed this problem and found a fix for that? I would appreciate any pointers to fix this problem. Regards, sridhar -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
