So what are the additional font paths when using xorg.conf created by sax2:

/usr/share/fonts/URW,

mainly used by ghostscript, but might be still interesting for some legacy X11 applications. xfig comes to my mind here.

I can confirm that xfig was affected. Thanks for the quick (<3.5 hours) fix! -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Workaround is to extend the fontpath with

xset ('xset fp+ /usr/share/fontsURW').

I hope it is ok to ask here, but would it be possible to provide a bit of guidance how to implement this workaround? I use KDE4 and I don't really know where this should go. Is there a config file that this should be in (~/.Xdefaults?). I've done some searching, but I've only found references to adding the font path to xorg.conf - which defeats the purpose - or else for systems using xfs which does not appear to be active in the default setup. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
