Okay, if I go into the fonts directory, and run mkfontscale and mkfontdir

Then restart X via switching to init 3, and back.

Staroffice can see all the fonts again! Both type1 and TT.

But...

KDE can now only see TT fonts. They preview fine in the font installer, they show as activated in the X11 font directory, but KOFFICE apps and others can only see TrueType fonts...

If I run SuSEConfig --module fonts, then.... KDE can see all the fonts, Type1 and TT But staroffice and anyone else can't see any fonts encoded as adobe-fontspecific, adobe-standard, or iso10646.

So the bug is somewhere in SUSE's setup...

I looked at the way that mkfontscale and mkfontdir laid out the .scale/.dir files as opposed to fonts-config. Apparently, the encoding order is sorted when it's produced by the fonts-config script. This causes the encodings to be adobe-specific then iso10646 and iso8859. My bet is that order of the encodings is important somehow. It's the ONLY difference. Then I looked at the fonts-config script. It sorts the encodings before writing. So I need to kill the sort, run it, and test again... -Daniel
