 |
|
I just installed battle for wesnoth and get a weird display behaviour just in the menu. The loading screen is fine though (I can read the tip about how to play the game clearly).

That happens in the menu. That happens with different display resolutions and even in full screen with different screen resolutions.
| Code: | localhost roman # eix wesnoth

AFAIK i do not see any config file in my home directory? I deleted those ages ago. I assume they are in /home/.wesnoth right?
Do I need some truetype fonts maybe?
Can anyone tell me the config files for wesnoth in the home folder? is it /home/.wesnoth ?
Does anyone sees the same behaviour?
I will try to fix it later ...
[edit 1, without effect]
No idea why they changed it to .local ... The old structure with .wesnoth in the homedirectory was much more obvious.
| Code: | | rm -r .local/share/wesnoth/ |
[edit 2, without effect]
| Code: |
roman@localhost ~ $ rm -r /home/roman/.config/wesnoth/
roman@localhost ~ $ rm -r .local/share/wesnoth/

Basically even deleting everything which belongs to the user do not get rid of the effect.
I won t touch the data directory as it is from the system / belongs to portage for sure. therefore this directory should not have any effect on this wrong behaviour
[edit 4th ... the "freebirdi" useflag does not influence this behaviour at all]

Most likely it just gets wrong font. Probably you should play with fonts configuration, not with the wesnoth configuration. There's FC_DEBUG environment which can be used to see which fonts are requested by the application and which fonts are passed to the application. I've used it couple times to figure out problems with gvim, but really, it was a nightmare to work with it  Just in case you want to try it, run your application as "FC_DEBUG=1 application >fonts.trace" Read more about it in man fonts-conf. |

I am curiuos if it is only my box because I use bloatfree gentoo [tm].
serious, i only run i3wm with a few packages and therefore I may not have something installed which anyone who uses kde / gnome usually has.
So can anyone repdroduce this on their kde / gnome systems? |

| Well. I also don't use KDE or Gnome, only Sawfish. Out of curiosity I've installed wesnoth and didn't find any problems with fonts. |
