I can't seem to figure this one out.
Same problem occurs with mozilla and make xconfig..... For as far as I've seen..

Something definitly looks broke ........the lack of fonts suggests the apps are using a font which isnt available ....not sure bout the icons however , if you start the apps in a term does it give any error messages ????

Cheers

Just one error message.. But I feel it has nothing to do with the prob..

Code: Select all

(gedit:10521): Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtktextbuffer.c: line 334 (set_table): assertion `buffer->tag_table == NULL' failed

And about the missing fonts.. I synched my fonts with my notebook.. Which also has gentoo installed.. Did the fc-cache.. and all seemed normal..

The icons are still missing I take it ???

If so the best bet would be to find out where the app's icons are installed to and make sure they are still there , worst case senario you might be able to just copy them across from the lappy .
Also have you upgraded anything recently with different use variables ??could also be if the apps have been recently installed image support may not have been added ( ie if compiled without png,jpeg etc use variable)

Cheers

Code: Select all

lsof | grep gedit

fonts are still lost in the gui though they seem intact in the dirs and config files....

already did an fc-cache.. and xftcache and re-emerging stuff..

I believe the icons have perhaps something to do with gnome2..
Logically.. cause the icons are from gnome2

... And the fact that some parts of gnome don't like my 2.5 kernel.. hmz.. gonna try a new kernel tomorrow.. maybe.. just maybe.. Maybe pango is screwing me sideways..

Btw: I can only run a 2.5 kernel.. and a 2.2.10

Have you checked your XF86config incase in the process of emerging stuff your font paths got foobar'd ??

Cheers

Krisserferson · Post by **Krisserferson** » Tue Feb 04, 2003 9:00 am

Sorry for the late response.. But nothing got foobar'd as so it seems.. Hasn't anyone seen this before..?!

I unmerged and re-emerged glib,gtk-1.2,gtk2, pango and libgnomeui.... Also did a re-emerge of gedit though I didn't think it would matter much..

My USE flags "X bonobo crypt cups fbcon gif gnome gtk gtkhtml imlib jpeg png tiff"

Maybe interesting to know.. But when I switch on anti-alias in fluxbox, my fonts also disappear..
Haven't searched the forum for it yet.. But i'll do so later on..

Swishy · Post by **Swishy** » Tue Feb 04, 2003 10:07 pm

have you tried re-emerged freetype ??

Cheers
Dale.

Krisserferson · Post by **Krisserferson** » Wed Feb 05, 2003 8:59 am

Yep.. also tried a re-emerge of fluxbox.. it complained about 'AM_PATH_XFT' ...

Code: Select all

aclocal: configure.in: 226: macro `AM_PATH_XFT' not found in library
util/Makefile.am:6: invalid unused variable name: `_SOURCES'

configure.in:298: warning: do not use m4_patsubst: use patsubst or m4_bpatsubst
configure.in:324: warning: do not use m4_regexp: use regexp or m4_bregexp

hmz.. Gonna look into it...

best regards

This is a b*tch..

Just a little side-info:
Xfree 4.2.1 with fbdev
2.5.53 kernel
freetype,xft,gtk,gtk2 and pango are all up2date..

Help me..

Krisserferson · Post by **Krisserferson** » Thu Feb 06, 2003 9:11 am

Some small update..

Code: Select all

export GDK_USE_XFT=0

This got me my fonts back.. I wonder why my truetype fonts disappear when setting it to 1..
Could a xft.h be the culprit?

Krisserferson · Post by **Krisserferson** » Thu Feb 06, 2003 4:43 pm

Sorry I think I spoke too soon.... It seems that this returns fonts to gtk2 apps..
But the fonts still stay away when doing:

Code: Select all

make xconfig
// And when doing.. 
xterm -fa "Andale mono"

Items that use Xftconfig...

hmz..

If you've got any idea.. Or tip maybe... please post..

Swishy · Post by **Swishy** » Thu Feb 06, 2003 7:57 pm

Have you emerged the masked gdkxft patch for gtk 1 apps???
It is masked for a reason apparently ...
If you check the package.mask file youll see that it has been masked due to it breaking things ....
If it has been emerged try unmerging it and rebuilding xft etc , if that doesnt work you may have to reemerge stuff starting with X ....

Cheers
Dale.

Krisserferson · Post by **Krisserferson** » Thu Feb 06, 2003 8:07 pm

Didn't emerge gdkxft.. When I heard about it, I also heard about a possible bug or something..

It seems that you're describing my fear.. re-emerging a lot of X, starting with X itself.... <<shiver>>

Thanks for your help so far

Swishy · Post by **Swishy** » Thu Feb 06, 2003 8:54 pm

No probs

But it does look like its related to the xft support somewhere .....
It could be worth just unmerging X xft pango and reemerging .....

Cheers
Dale.

Finally a break..

It seems that the weight element in my XF86Config causes the AA-fonts and icons to disappear..

Code: Select all

    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       16
        Weight      5 5 6
        Modes       "1280x1024"
        Virtual     1280 1024
        ViewPort    0 0
    EndSubsection

Whereas

Code: Select all

    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       16
        Weight      5 6 5
        Modes       "1280x1024"
        Virtual     1280 1024
        ViewPort    0 0
    EndSubsection

Restores the icons and AA-fonts.. But it screws with yellow and blue.. Giving almost every other color a nice(?) blue or yellow pattern..

Anyone got a clue?..

btw: xfree 4.2.1 with fbdev

Kris

A weird thing.. I wanted to post a screenie.. But this is what it looks like

Looks normal.. doesn't it?! Though on my screen it is stil wrong..
I know the gimp uses a correct pallete..

What happens of you comment out the weight section ????

Cheers

I've seen this same problem in kde when there were still apps depending on kde 3.0 libs and kde 3.0 was removed, but I have never seen it in gnome. Maybe it's a similar problem. Have you removed older versions of gnome and there are still some old dependencies?

Krisserferson · Post by **Krisserferson** » Fri Mar 07, 2003 8:51 am

When commenting out the weight section it goes to default which is 5 6 5 @ depth 16, the blue/yellow effect.

I don't think it's gnome related. It has been around since the beginning.

This is rather annoying.. even a capture with fbshot seems to return a normal screen.. Though it still looks f*cked up over here..

If you want to look
