Why am I getting a different result when using Leap to what I get in 13.2? Anyone have a suggestion, or two, please? I have a recollection of this or something similar when upgrading to 13.1 and possibly 12.<something>. I can't find explicit mention in my notes, but that was also accompanied by a new drive and restoration of $HOME from backup and then a new machine. It the sort of thing that got lost in the details of configuring new hardware.
One of my perennial gripes is that too much of the software I consider essential is geared for Gnome and I'm a KDE users.
YES IT IS A RELIGIOUS ISSUE, THANK YOU!
I understand, my son. Flaggelate yourself for 1/2 hour for the next week and seek forgiveness from the Gnome god.
My vague recollections include having to modify things in Gnome terms for colour and font. I have an explicit note on that for the background colour, font for Darktable, another of my 'software crutches' that uses GTK rather than QT.
Thunderbird requires libfontconfig.o (among others) and an investigation of that gives some clues as to caching and where the installed fonts live, notable /usr/share/fonts. I can image that a customized set of fonts in the library might be reset, somehow, with a new installation. Perhaps you need to do a dirdiff between that library, as well as the cache, between the two installations, somehow.
I also note that there are many settings such as
FONTCONFIG_USE_MMAP XDG_CACHE_HOME XDG_CONFIG_HOME XDG_DATA_HOME FONTCONFIG_FILE FONTCONFIG_PATH FC_DEBUG
that you can play with.
I have no intentions of playing with this or anything :-) . If it don't woik then phuk it, I say! :-) .
If I had the time and patience I'd pour over the source code to see what's going on. I don't. YMMV.
That being said, there seems to be many possible error messages in libfontconfig. I wonder what the logs show?
I am also wondering same .....
