[opensuse] Problem with bold fonts
Hi, I have installed inkscape-0.43-20 from SUSE 10.1 and have the problem that truetype fonts in bold are not usable. That means: "Arial, Standard" in Inkscape's font dialog is the same as "Arial, Fett". It does not seem to be language issue as "Arial Black, Standard" is also the same as "Arial Black, Bold". What works is italic <-> non-italic, but that's about it. Bold fonts _are_ installed, xlsfonts also shows them and xfontsel successfully shows a bold font when asked to (and a non-bold when asked to). Maybe this is a bug of Xft or the GTK font selector?

Did you try the Inkscape 0.44 package from guru? This works fine here!

Same problem. I do not think it is related to Inkscape, though I do not have any GTK app handy that could have a font dialog that I know of.

This probably has nothing to do with your problem, but with bold fonts otherwise... after the latest update (including latest KDE), all the bold fonts are broken if I open shell from the X. I mean, open shell, type ls -la, and all the directory names are broken so that it seems that the length of the text is too long and the last one or two letters are not shown. -- HG. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

No, that's an xterm feature. I suppose it has to do with my font configuration or whatever. A fresh 10.1 with same Inkscape (now at 0.44.guru.2) has no problems doing Bold, my home box (also 0.44.g2) does not do it.

Feature indeed :-)
If the normal font is distinct from the bold font (that is, their names differ), you get The Better Behavior. For example, I have ahnv.pcf and ahnv_b.pcf which are exactly the same and start xterms using <<< This Script <<< font=${1:1}; if [ "${1:0:1}" == "^" ]; then opts="-fn $font -fb ${font}_b"; shift; fi; exec xterm -ls -fg gray -bg "#001020" -geometry 80x25 -vb +bdc +fbx \ +sb +vb $opts "$@";
