Hi all, Feeling stupid :-( I wanted all the good fonts from microsoft windows so started KDE"s font installer and selected all the fonts from win for installation - as root. The installer gave error for two of them [I did not note which two] and the rest seemed to go fine. But after that I lost my fonts completely. KDE would startup but would report errors with loading fonts [says "NO fonts found"]. Enlightenment etc menus are also invisible. Many windows are unrendered. After looking at many config files, I have been unable to locate where the problem could be.. Following is my game plan. 1. Remove all the TrueType directories [from my and root's home directories as well as from /usr/X11R6/share/fonts etc etc]. 2. Then remove all the packages searchable from yast [containing word font] and reinstalling them after a reboot [paranoid, I know]. But if there is someone with a little more insight than me, would they like to tell more? Best would be someone who has already faced this problem? -- Rohit ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 56792108 G9,F-1,Chandivali : SDE : TLSI : 9821394599 AT bplmobile DOT com This mail was sent using Linux.
