Before doing so, I decided to fully reinstall my system. I used xfstt for my TrueType fonts, and never had any problems with that. I installed FreeBSD 4.7 with XFree86-3.3.6_11, kde-3.1.3 and xfstt-1.6 all from packages (I hate compiling, and my system does too due to lack of diskspace at times). Everything went well, I'm a happy KDE-user now, but for one thing: the TrueType-fonts won't work in any KDE-app. But when I invoke a GTK-based program (tested XMMS and the GIMP (GTK-1) and AbiWord and gedit (GTK-2) ) the fonts work fine in that program. Also, running xlsfonts | grep ttf gives me a fine list of my 57 fonts. one odd thing though: when xfstt starts, it gives me an error about opening the font database, then rebuilds it, syncs and works. It does that every time again. I then tried xfstt-1.4 (wich I had on my previous install) wich works fine (gives that error the first time, then it's happy). Now, is this a KDE-related problem? It seems to be, cause everything else works fine. What to be done? Any suggestions? (Please CC me, I'm not on the list) thanks! -- tcGB <>< Fi-Ji ><>
