You can cut&paste it, i.e. character code is OK, but it >just shows as blank. Ok I tried this and it partially is correct for me as well. It DOESN'T happen with truetype fonts. OTOH, I am unable to reproduce with xterm, so it really seems to be a QT bug.
The "fscked" font seems to be helvetica: when kde apps use it, c+caret is missing, but when I use arial from M$s truetype fonts instead, it is ok. But I did a xlsfonts|grep -i helvetica|grep iso8859-2| blahblah and started xterm with all of the matching fonts. They are indeed antialiased, but none of them were fscked. Also for some strage reason I can't tell konqueror to use arial instead of helvetica. In the html source on the pages it sez something like "font face arial, verdana, helvetica", which konqueror interprets as "prefer helvetica", even if I rearrange order of font directories. The fix I was able to put together, is to do cd /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1/ rm -f n01* fonts.dir;mkfontdir restart xfs, restart X voila, it's fixed. So it seems that qt and urw fonts don't mix well. So what to do now, write to trolltech? It's fixed for me so I don't care anymore :-) > âť RiÄardas Äepas âş Bye, Peter Surda (Shurdeek) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, ICQ 10236103, +436505122023 -- Hello, this is Bill Gates and I pronounce Monopoly, er, Windows as Windows.
