Strange Fonts problems

Hi,

Strange thing happened to KDE 3.1.4.

I updated Gnome to the latest version, using apt4rpm (SuSE 8.2) and also updated imlib2 to version imlib2-1.1.0-0.pm.1.

The fonts on my desktop, kicker, windowtitles and kicker-menu's are the same size as before, but all the applications have a font that is far to large. I'm using Nimbus Sans. Before 12 px and now I have to adjust the fontsize betwen 10 and 12.

I killed the x-server, I did a reboot, I reinstalled all kde 3.1.4 rpms from the SuSE site.

What can be the problem?

Cheers,

Jayenell

Update:

Somehow I was able (don't ask me why, but it has something to do with the kfontinstaller) to have the fonts the same size, but another problem turns up:

Nimbus is now cripple. Looks like it has no anti-aliasing, but it is turned on and I enabled and disabled AA many times. Other (local) users have the same problem, EXCEPT ROOT. Root is fine. Size and anti-aliasing.

I even made a new user and it has the same font problems as other users.

Please help?!

Cheers,

Jayenell

Try with qtconfig and see if it does not contradict what KDE tells.

Have a nice day!

Hi,

The problem was a readonly /etc/fonts/fonts.conf.

So it is solved.

Cheers,
