Re: [suse-kde] KMail 1.5.1 and Fixed Font => more problems...

Hmmmmmmmm,

Do you have this problem in konsole, too?

Do you use qt-3.1.2 compiled against Xft2?

That would be my first guess, because tweaking around with qt3, my first and main tip for all people is: Never compile qt3 against Xft2, because Xft2 has critical problems with fixed fonts like "fixed (misc)" and many others. Only TTF fixed width fonts are working as far as I can remember.

E.g. you have compiled against Xft2, if you updated to XFree 4.3.0 and after that rebuilt qt3 e.g. from src.rpm

If s.o. wants a small how-to "how to compile qt3 against Xft1 after installing Xfree 4.3.0", please answer to the list, then I'll post some info 'bout that.

Looks like I didn't actually include the screenshot. No matter. It's just empty whitespace everywhere...

Any help greatly appreciated

It is a XFree4.3/qt-3.1.2 (SuSE) issue. My fix was downloading the qt3-3.1.2-0.src.rpm source rpm from ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.1.1/SuSE/src and rebuild it with rpm --rebuild --target=i686-suse-linux qt3-3.1.2-0.src.rpm. Install with rpm -Uvh /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i686/qt3-... und execute 'SuSEconfig'. After restarting XFree/KDE everything has been ok again. You once gave me the hint with Xft2/Xft1, but I never tried it. The above worked fine for me. Tim
