[opensuse] Help - Where is the font mapped to monospace in 11.0/KDE4??
Guys, I'm out of ideas. I installed a font in kde4 and it replaced my normal monospace font. I have looked all over trying to find out where the mapping of the actual font to monospace is done and I can't find it. I have found longs of things that map Korean, fonts to XYZ, etc.. but not the actual place where the mapping of font X into the monospace label is done. I've tried with locate, find, grep you name it, but still no joy. I've checked: /usr/share/kde4/.. /usr/share/font-config /usr/share/font /etc/font /etc/sysconfig/font and probably some other places I can't recall, but I'm still stumped. Anybody know where this mapping is made? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

/etc/fonts/suse-post-user.conf Why it takes preference over /etc/fonts/conf.avail/40-generic.conf I have no idea. Mike Fabian probably knows, but I think he was a Novell budget cut casualty earlier in the year. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=378463 -- " A patriot without religion . . . is as great a paradox, as an honest man without the fear of God. . . . 2nd U.S. President, John Adams Team OS/2 ** Reg.

Felix, That was the silver-bullet I needed. It seems that 11.0 will take the last installed monospace font as the default (top of the list). I had installed a clean mono font, but not what I wanted as a default, so I just moved it down in the list and left the top like this: <family>monospace</family> <prefer> <family>DejaVu Sans Mono</family> <family>Andale Mono</family> <family>Lucida Sans Typewriter</family> Hate the fact that DejaVu is so much a bigger font than others (check out the metrics in fontmatrix), but for mono it's gorgeous. You don't want it as a default for sans or serif. If you use them, your browser default font size will have to be reduced by 2 points which will screw up the rest of the sites that define their own.

Is fontmatrix some font viewer that shows characters in isolation? I much prefer evaluating fonts in a context resembling their use in a web page and in comparison to other fonts, e.g.: http://fm.no-ip.com/auth/Font/fonts-face-samplesM.html http://fm.no-ip.com/auth/Font/fonts-comps-dejavu.html http://fm.no-ip.com/auth/Font/fonts-comps-commons.html http://fm.no-ip.com/auth/Font/fonts-face-index.html http://fm.no-ip.com/auth/Font/fonts-face-index-full.html#start -- The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. 1 Corinthians 7:3 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.

Fontmatrix will do it ALL! It will show all fonts, then let you select the ones to compare and then OVERLAY the fonts one on top of the other. It works well. Still a few bugs, but very usable (like another app in discussion of late ;-) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
