Hi, I tried out some things to get fonts working again. One of it has been updating to freetype2-2.1.4rc2 and rebuilding all font caches. Now I can see some of the fonts that where invisible before. But some (especially Fixed Fonts) are now invisible. I have SuSE 8.1, XFree86-4.3.0-17, KDE3.1.1-33. Does anyone have a 'working' combination with XFree86 and KDE 3.1.1 ? What software versions do you have. Can you display www.winehq.org (I can not see the normal text here at the moment, no matter which freetype2 version). Please help me out. Regards, Tim Ruehsen

No problems here at all.

Yes.
What software versions do you have.
QT3: 3.1.1-64 KDE: 3.1.1-10 from kde.org with some parts compiled from source. XFree86: 4.3.0-17 Freetype2: 2.1.4-rc2
Can you display www.winehq.org
Yes. I can. Are you using the KDE packages from the SuSE site? People seem to be having problems displaying some sites. The solution seem to be to rebuild QT3 and kdebase3. Please check the list archive. YMMV.

make sure, you have the latest qt-3.1.2 rebuilt the font-cache with fc-cache -v and look for problems. If you want to compile QT yourself from .src.rpm you _must_ compile against Xft1, not Xft2, because after that, all fixed width fonts will be weird with Xft2. If you want to do that, here a little howto from me: Go to /usr/X11R6/include/X11/ and move Xft to Xft2, then make a new dir named Xft1. Make a symlink from Xft1 to Xft. (Now you can easily link Xft from Xft2 or Xft1 whenever you want). Now fetch the latest stable fcpackage from freetype.org, extract it and copy the .h files from the Xft1 directory to the now empty /usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xft1 dir. Then go to /usr/X11R6/lib/ and remove the symlink libXft.so and then symlink libXft.so.1 to libXft.so. Now you can recompile the qt-3.1.2 src.rpm and it will compile against Xft1. I recommend the qt src.rpm from ftp.kde.org, since the ones from ftp.suse.com made problems on my system. After that you can undo the changes above if you want to.

Quick overview of my system: I have SuSE 7.3 with kernel 2.4.20, Xfree 4.3.0, KDE 3.1.1, QT 3.1.2 compiled against Xft1 and freetype 2.1.3 (with the xfthack patch from http://www.cs.mcgill.ca/~dchest/xfthack/) Greets, Daniel
Ok, solved (puuhh). I downloaded the qt3 source rpm from ftp.kde.org, compiled and installed it. Issuing a 'SuSEconfig' rebuilt the font caches... and see, after restarting X11/KDE everything looks fine now! The update was just qt3-3.1.2-0.src.rpm (which results in qt3-3.1.2-7.rpm, qt3-devel-3.1.2-7.rpm and qt-devel-doc-3.1.2-7.rpm). But still I have freetype2-2.1.4rc2 installed (compiled from sources and installed to /usr/local), with links in /usr/include and /usr/lib. I am pretty shure, this will work with freetype2-2.1.3 rpm as well. Besides, qt3 is now compiled with strong Pentium4 optimisations... at least KDE 'feels' smoother now ;-) Tim Am Donnerstag, 3.
