From kde Mon Sep 09 11:37:18 2002 From: Tore Anderson Date: Mon, 09 Sep 2002 11:37:18 +0000 To: kde Subject: [kde] Bitmap fonts in KDE3 X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde&m=103157149015820 I want to use bitmap fonts in Konsole. However, Konsole's font selection dialog doesn't display any bitmap fonts apart from "fixed". I know the fonts are visible to the X server, as they show up in xlsfonts' output - and rxvt uses them happily. I've searched the archives and was just able to find a handful of posts suggesting that it's impossible to use bitmap fonts in conjunction with anti-aliasing. However, enabling or disabling AA has no effect on Konsole's font list (also, some posts seem to suggest that this is not true for KDE3). Trying to edit ~/.share/config/konsolerc manually doesn't work either. The 'defaultfont' variable has some bizarre way of describing the font ("Courier,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,1,0") - and if I change this to "nexus" - it still refuses to display any other than the default font. "konsole --fn nexus" just spits back QFont::setRawMode(): Invalid XLFD: "nexus" In kcontrol's font settings dialog, nexus doesn't appear in the list. However, the bitmap fonts which has aliases or names in the "X syntax" (like "-ay-shine.no-medium-r-.....") appear, except in the dialog for selecting fixed width fonts. If I try to use them in any of the others, KDE seems to be unable to render them. Every single one appears visually alike each other - certainly not how they should look. I'm all out of ideas on how to make my fonts work, and would greatly appreciate some suggestions or help. I am using KDE 3.0.3 (installed with the Debian packages found on the official ftp site).
