I've just installed the Bitstream Vera family using the KDE Control centre. This seems to have gone fine as far as KDE/Qt apps are concerned, but my Gnome/Gtk1&2 apps have now lost track of most of my installed fonts.
ISTR something like this happened before, but I can't remember what I had to do to fix it. Can anyone remind me?

John, Try running SuSEconfig and see if that fixes it, otherwise this worked in an older version of SuSE. To reinitialise all your truetypes please follow these steps. 1) Change to where the fonts are. cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype 2) Determine if there are any files been created for the scaling of the ttf's. ls -l fonts.s* 3) Remove all these files. rm fonts.s* 4) Create a new font scale file. ttmkfdir | sed s/^[0-9]*// > fonts.scale.myfonts 5) Now run SuSEconfig.fonts /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.fonts 6) Run xset to reread the font paths xset fp rehash You should be able to see the fonts with xfontsel -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------
