Posted: Sat Nov 23, 2002 2:20 am Post subject: Konsole Issues |
|
|
Ok, so all of a sudden, seemingly completely randomly konsole is looking really wierd. Here is a screenshot. Basically all I can say about what happened was that I started it and it was like that. I hadn't changed anything since the last time I ran konsole, hadn't installed/uninstalled anything, or changed any config files.
Anyone have any thoughts as to what might be causing this? _________________ Excellent.. |

I had the same problem when I installed KDE 3.1RC1, I have no idea what caused it, it could either be RC1 or xfree (I downgraded to 4.2.0-r12). When I installed RC2 nothing changed. Then I installed RC3 and after I started KDE for a few times my konsole was back to normal.
I think this was after I unemerged an old kdelibs version (3.0.x), but I also upgraded back to Xfree 4.2.1
I know this isn't really helpful, but if you are using KDE 3.1RCx then check if you still have some old kde ebuilds installed.
Otherwise just change the default konsole font to something else. They won't be so pretty, but at least they are readable and usable.
Good luck, I hope you will find the reason, I'm really curious myself. |

today my xserver went nuts and overwrote my XF86Config and now my konsole font is messed up again.
So I guess it's more a Xfree/dpi/fonts issue than a KDE issue. |

havent found a reason, but you can go to custom in the font menu and change it to something like courier new -- 10pt and the fonts wont be as messed up. gl on the real solution. |

Yeah, switching to courier is what I did, unfortunately it has some wierd effects which cause the terminal to display incorrectly sometimes when doing things like hitting backspace, etc. _________________ Excellent.. |

I just now encountered the same exact problem. The problem (apparently) that causes it happened when I did an emerge --emptytree for frozen-bubbles (which still doesn't work for me, blah). Did anyone ever figure out how to fix that funny font problem? |

Actually I had tried setting another font...that only works if the font is Courier however. Anyway, I don't have the problem anymore because I decided to uncheck the ~x86 in my make.conf and upgraded everything to kde 3.1 rc6, and everything works great now. |

Just yesterday I did an emerge -u world and after a reboot I had this same problem. I'm not sure which package/update created it though.
I changed the font to courier --10pt for the time being but I'm not too fond of it.... Maybe it's time to take the KDE 3.1 plunge...
Still no suggested fixes I assume eh?

I had the same problem yesterday, i managed to fix it by clearing font caches.
Code: | cd
rm .ccache -rf
fc-cache -fv
cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
xftcache * |
But today I ran my daily update wich messed it up again. Any expert advice appreciated. I think it has something to do with freetype. Is there a clean way to get the xfs init script to rescan directories ?
Hope I helped.
Random thoughts welcome.

This describes a similar problem and solution (kde-3.0.5a with fontconfig, Xft2, etc.) |
