I was messing with Themes and Styles, but lost the original fonts in KDE and would like them back. But I cannot find a Theme or Font setting that looks the same as it was by default and the Defaults button does not produce the old font either. How can I get the default settings back?
The default font would be SUSE Sans or Segoe for recent versions of SUSE. Are those fonts listed?
The Defaults button gives you Sans Serif which is an alias to SUSE Sans or is it Arial?
Yes, Sans Serif is the default General font and seemed bolder before the changes. I've tried to set bold and it is way to BOLD :( And the default font is not smooth, I tried checking off anti-aliasing. Aren't there some files I could possibly copy over from a new user login or my root login that would give me all the default styles, fonts, etc. back? Thanks. -- Robert

Make sure it is turned on again and that you do not have any exclude ranges or odd subpixel hinting settings (under the Advanced button).

If a new user login has the correct fonts and the action above doesn't help, then you can manually copy the font settings from the other user's [General] group in $HOME/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals. These are all the *Font lines and anything beginning with Xft. Note that if the font settings are the default settings, we just take the system default so that file will not contain any *Font lines. If your new user also has broken faults then you have messed up something at a system level (recompiled freetype for truetype hinting, some hotrod X server, cooked your fontconfig settings). HTH Will
