Very Computer

I was finally able to add TrueType fonts to my system, however they don't
seem to render correctly.  For instance, whenever I select Verdana font, it
is rendered as Nimbus font.  This happens in KWord, Konqueror, etc...  So I
looked in the /etc/X11/XftConfig file and I noticed the following line:

match any family == "verdana"           edit family += "Nimbus Sans L";

I am guessing that anytime KDE sees verdana font it is replaced by Nimbus.  
I commented the line out, rebooted the system, but to no avail.  

Can someone point me in the right direction?
I am using standard RH7.2, KDE 2.2.1.  The antialiasing is on.

Thanks.

Hi Robert,

this is just wild guess, but you might want to check your home and kde dir
for other config files.

At least Xft looks for ~/.xftconfig.
And there is ~/.xftcache file.

Cheers,

The right direction to point you to, would be special newsgroup for KDE
on Red Hat.
But since this doesn't exist, I can't.
Red Hat screws up KDE because they support that other desktop.

*REALLY*, I suppose you have a url for that...

I had no end to problems until I turned antialiasing off.  It prevents
a significant number of my fonts from showing up at all, and I couldn't
print from some applications while it was enabled.

I can't understand why this is, but I gave up trying to fix it.  Too
many other things to do, and I think KDE developers are working on a
different scheme for fonts in 3.x anyway.

Actually, I just had a similar problem on Mandrake 8.1, only everything was
showing up as an oblique LuciduxSans, I believe. I went into the XftConfig
file and found a bunch of the "match any family" references, almost all
created by *other apps* that had been installed - like Sun's JRE 1.3 from
the Netscape 6.x install. I commented out all of those instances and after
restarting X my fonts seemed to be back in order.
