kde handles fonts on its own. Could it be that kfontinst has been used at some point? If so, the fonts would be in kde's config files somewhere, even if they've been removed from XF86Config. Could KDE/QT see the fonts while the entry was removed from XF86Config? Anders On Friday 03 August 2001 23:48, Steven Hatfield wrote:
But why would his KDE2/QT programs see TT fonts, and not his Gnome programs?

I don't think it's cached.
Are you absolutely certain you've spelled the path correctly?
Have you tried re-typing the entry? Sometimes, some editors insert non-printable characters, that confuses the program that tries to read it.
Have you looked in the log files to see if X reports why it can't read the directory?
Just some ideas for trouble shooting.

I couldn't find the previous thread on this, but do you see the tt fonts with xlsfonts?
I gave that a try and it only reports the non-TT fonts. It's as if XF86Config is cached somewhere besides /etc/X11/XF86Config and so it doesn't read the up-to-date version that mentions TT fonts again...
Thanks, Tim
I'm still trying to figure out a very mysterous problem. After removing, and then adding back, the truetype font directory to my XF86Config, no normal X apps can see my tt fonts. The only apps that see my fonts are those using XFT/Render (i.e. QT/KDE apps). This is fine for me most of the time, but it's frustrating as it makes it difficult to use the GIMP.
