(...) This is a shoot in the dark, but maybe you are experiencing some of the side effects this FAQ is pointing out :-? *** http://wiki.debian.org/Fonts/FAQ Q: After a dist-upgrade I lost my fonts. I have only a couple of fonts to choose from and none of them are Helvetica that I use for my desktop and the konsole font is also not as it used to be. A: Chances is that fontconfig has been upgraded and the standard local.conf has overwritten your version. The following fc-cache run has then removed all cached bitmap fonts. In order to solve this problem, edit /etc/fonts/local.conf and enable the bitmapped fonts by removing the <!-- and --> comment markers below the sentence <!-- Uncomment below to enable bitmapped fonts --> then, as root, rerun the command 'fc-cache - fv' to recreate the font cache. Programs can now be restarted to use the proper fonts. *** Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
