 |
|
Hello gentoolmen 
I googled my buns off trying to figure out what is really going on, but I just can't. Every search term combination I come up with returns a lot of results. It seems people have a lot of these problems, but none quite match.
I want to have some kind of bitmap font for my terminals. I've been using media-fonts/terminus-font for years now and I have no intention of switching. It contains all the glyphs I need. It seems, however, that qt4 disagrees with that assertion. I can, for example, use characters
and they display as they should. On the other hand, characters
do not. They are rendered in a different font, and I'm not sure which. It could be DejaVu, but I don't think it's important. This problem appears in both KDE and QT applications, like konsole, kate, systemsettings and qtconfig. It seems to me as if QT 4 doesn't see these particular glyphs and substitutes a different font.
Applications which do not use QT or use <x11-libs/qt-4.0, do not exhibit this behaviour. Tested with app-editors/emacs-23.1 and kde-3.5.10 versions of kate, konsole and kcontrol. I also tested the Fixed [misc] font and it has the same problem.
I would be very grateful if anyone can point me in the right direction. Here are my fontconfig settings. There are no font substitutions configured in qtconfig.

Wow, I never imagined one could get an answer for a problem this old . Great!
However, I can't confirm that your solution works because the problem resolved itself on its own in the meantime. I don't even know when, but it did take long enough for me to completely forget I ever asked this question. |
