I tried out some things to get fonts working again. One of it has been updating to freetype2-2.1.4rc2 and rebuilding all font caches. Now I can see some of the fonts that where invisible before. But some (especially Fixed Fonts) are now invisible.
I have SuSE 8.1, XFree86-4.3.0-17, KDE3.1.1-33.
make sure, you have the latest qt-3.1.2 rebuilt the font-cache with fc-cache -v and look for problems. If you want to compile QT yourself from .src.rpm you _must_ compile against Xft1, not Xft2, because after that, all fixed width fonts will be weird with Xft2. If you want to do that, here a little howto from me: Go to /usr/X11R6/include/X11/ and move Xft to Xft2, then make a new dir named Xft1. Make a symlink from Xft1 to Xft. (Now you can easily link Xft from Xft2 or Xft1 whenever you want). Now fetch the latest stable fcpackage from freetype.org, extract it and copy the .h files from the Xft1 directory to the now empty /usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xft1 dir. Then go to /usr/X11R6/lib/ and remove the symlink libXft.so and then symlink libXft.so.1 to libXft.so. Now you can recompile the qt-3.1.2 src.rpm and it will compile against Xft1. I recommend the qt src.rpm from ftp.kde.org, since the ones from ftp.suse.com made problems on my system. After that you can undo the changes above if you want to.
Does anyone have a 'working' combination with XFree86 and KDE 3.1.1 ? What software versions do you have. Can you display www.winehq.org (I can not see the normal text here at the moment, no matter which freetype2 version).
Quick overview of my system: I have SuSE 7.3 with kernel 2.4.20, Xfree 4.3.0, KDE 3.1.1, QT 3.1.2 compiled against Xft1 and freetype 2.1.3 (with the xfthack patch from http://www.cs.mcgill.ca/~dchest/xfthack/) Greets, Daniel
