Hi, Why does nobody understand how fonts work? Do you just hope everything is right when you install Lnunx and don't touch it anymore? Windows is just better in this regard. It has better Unifont support and it is not so complicated that nobody on the list knows how fonts work. In KDE I have to fight with so many aspects to get it to work. I just want to be able to see Japanese and German at the same time. It shouldn't be a big deal. Why does antialiasing always mess things up? Konqueror as file manager doesn't show the shell with correct fonts anymore unicode is broken. Is that an experimental feature? (Why is it included then?) Basti Am Freitag, 31.

Hi, One and for all I want to know how Fonts work in X and KDE. Can you explain me how or point me to resouces. I have had so many confusing issues and now I one again: - I want to type German and Japanese. Therefore I added the following to my xinitrc. export XMODIFIERS="@im=kinput2" /usr/X11R6/bin/kinput2 -xim -kinput -canna & - I also changed the locale to unifont to be able to display Japanese text: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 - Now if antialiased fonts are turned on it doesn't display Umlaute anymore. If they are turned off it works fine. Why? Also how does font substitution work?
