Hello!
Has anyone experienced strange font changes after installing KDE 3.1.4? Mostly it is that fonts that previously were anti-aliased are not any more, especially in Konqueror, but I also had problems with the message display in KMail which used a much too small font.
I reverted back to KDE 3.1.3 because of this. I suspect it´s a change in the qt libs, so I think it was a bad idea to base KDE 3.1.4 on QT 3.2.1.
Or is something wrong with my setup? Did anyone else have problems?
Nope. The fonts in Konqueror, on the desktop and in Kmail actually look quite a bit better on my machine at work. I've not upgraded at home yet so I don't know how they would look there. I have the same installed software and patch level (minus the new KDE stuff) at work and at home. So I would think the behavior would be the same...which is why I've held off at home because this new release broke thingeramik (gtk theme) which matchs thinkeramik. I know that's a stupid reason not to update but damn it. I like my apps looking the same. *laugh* A suggestion. Remove all KDE related directories from /tmp and remove .mcop* from your home directory as well as the two tmp files in ~/.kde. If you have KDM running then shut it down before removing these files. Then restart KDM and go into KDE. Things should be better then. I do this EVERYTIME a KDE upgrade gets released. For some odd reason KDE can leave behind files that make newer versions just fall on themselves. It's not an everytime thing but I err on the side of caution. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org ----- If two men agree on everything, you can be sure that only one of them is doing the thinking.
