Subject:    [PATCH] kdebase for 'startkde'

[Download RAW message or body]

I would like to suggest the attached patch.

The reason is that this code never worked and it has now been made obsolete by FontConfig.

There is one remaining issue for KDE.

Fonts are installed in: "$KDEDIR/share/fonts".  These do need to be available to X11 and 
FontConfig.  The solution I used was to make a link: "$KDEDIR/share/fonts => /uar/share/fonts". 
  On some systems these directories are the same and the link is unnecessary.  I suggest that 
installation of kdebase should make this link if necessary.  FontConfig would find the fonts 
there except that I had to ungzip them for it to find them.  This directory (/usr/share/fonts/) 
should be in the X11 FontPath.

If other KDE applications put fonts various places, these directory trees will have to be added 
to the FontConfig configuration file: "/etc/fonts/fonts.conf" which is XML, and to X11 as well, 
but I haven't seen any -- and remember that the old code only works for BIT MAPPED fonts.
