Your Eclipse shows a KDE style gui but when I start Eclipse see a GTK style gui. I don’t know how to change that, I started Eclipse from a KDE4 desktop. I don’t think that this really matters though. By the way, which locale do you use? (Output of the "locale" command). And what is the result of "fc-match monospace" for you? Does "xfd -fa monospace" work for you? Which font does it use? I’ll try starting Eclipse from KDE3 now... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Using my second computer the last command works ok. OK, so we need to debug this. 1) Check if the dejavu package is installed correctly: - does the file /usr/share/fonts/truetype/DejaVuSansMono.ttf exist? - Is it readable? - Does "ftdump /usr/share/fonts/truetype/DejaVuSansMono.ttf" display some information about this font (to make sure it is a valid font file). 2) Do you have this font installed in several places? - Please check with "fc-list "DejaVu Sans Mono" file Normally there is nothing wrong with having a font in several locations in the fontpath, I just want check here whether you have some broken version of this file in another location. *If* you find the file in another location, please repeat the steps of 1) on all DejaVuSansMono.ttf you can find. 3) Maybe the caches of fontconfig are broken? - try to regenerate the fontconfig cache with: fc-cache -v -f as root user. - if you have fonts in user specific directories like ~/.fonts as well, run fc-cache -v -f . as normal (non-root) user in each of these directories as well. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Certainly not. But I don’t know why this happened to you. We saw similar effects before, more often with older versions of fontconfig. With the current versions of fontconfig, broken caches seem be very rare. In fact your report is the only one which has to do with broken fontconfig caches during at least the last half year. Grzegorz Kossakowski> Not sure whose it's fault but maybe it's a good Grzegorz Kossakowski> idea to add regeneration of font cache to update Grzegorz Kossakowski> process? That should be already done. All font packages have a call to SuSEconfig --module fonts in their post-install and post-uninstall scripts. And a complete run of SuSEconfig, which includes "SuSEconfig --module fonts" is run at the end of the installation. One of the things "SuSEconfig --module fonts" does is to call "fc-cache". It calls it without the "-f" (--force) option though, that would waste too much time if all caches are up-to-date. Without the "-f", fc-cache regenerates the caches only for directories which have a time-stamp newer than the corresponding cache file in /var/cache/fontconfig. After an update, *all* fontdirectories should have newer time-stamps because all font-packages have been updated. I.e. "fc-cache" without the "-f" option should do the same as just "fc-cache" in that case. You wrote yourself im comment #5: Grzegorz Kossakowski> I forgot to add that I cannot reproduce this Grzegorz Kossakowski> problem on my second computer either. Both Grzegorz Kossakowski> computers had been updated from 10.3 and had Grzegorz Kossakowski> more or less the same set of packages installed. I.e. you have also seen that this doesn’t happen always. In fact it is *extremely* rare. Grzegorz Kossakowski> Solution for this problem is simple but I think Grzegorz Kossakowski> the best would be if there was no problem in the Grzegorz Kossakowski> beginning. Yes, of course. But we need a reproducible test case to fix the problem in fontconfig. By the way, I should have asked you to backup all the files in /var/cache/fontconfig before calling "fc-cache -f". One of these files was apparently broken, if I had asked you to send me these files *maybe* I could have investigated why fontconfig didn’t detect the brokenness. I could fix some fontconfig cache related bugs in the past by investigating broken cache files. Usually, if there is something wrong with a cache file, fontconfig detects this and a new cache is generated automatically. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
