no Helvetica font (and others) in KDE 3.1.4


Hi all,

recently i ran into some troubles.
I am quiet new to linux. It is about 2 Month that i use debians release 'woody'.
Everything worked fine after some handjobs.
I upgraded KDE to the unstable version of debian. No problems.
Now i have installed the package 'kiconedit' from unstable and following happens:

apt-get install kiconedit
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
kdelibs-bin kdelibs-data kdelibs4 libarts1 libglib2.0-0 libglib2.0-dev libqt3c102-mt libxcursor1 libxml2 libxslt1
The following NEW packages will be installed:
kiconedit libxcursor1

i tried to fix the problem with
dpkg --force-overwrite -i /var/cache/apt/archives/kdelibs-data_4%3a3.1.4-2_all.deb

and it worked.
But since that time i am missing some standard fonds in KDE. There is no Helvetiva font for example and everything looks realy awfully.

I tried to downgrade to the old versions, but stopped at the point where nearly every kde programm will be removed.

Can anyone help me to fix this problem with missing fonts?

If you still have the problem after such a long time, then post something here and I'll see if I can help or repost at http://www.debianhelp.org . This forum doesn't exactly get huge amounts of activity, as you can tell :-) . Otherwise, this post is just to get this thread off the 0 replies list, so you don't need to reply.

Hi smith847be,

thanks for your reply. You're right, this forum doesn't really get huge amounts of activity...

By the way, at http://wiki.debian.net/index.cgi?FontFAQ i have found the answer to my font problem:

Quote:
Fontconfig has been upgraded and the standard local.conf has overwritten
my version. The following fc-cache run has then removed all cached bitmap fonts.
In order to solve this problem, edit /etc/fonts/local.conf and enabled the
bitmapped fonts by removing the <!-- and --> comment markers below the sentence
<!-- Uncomment below to enable bitmapped fonts --> then, as root, rerun the
command 'fc-cache -fv' to recreate the font cache. Programs can now be
restarted to use the proper fonts.

good, glad it's fixed. Yeah, that problem did look weird. Apt-get is a great tool but when it does rarely have problems they can be a pain.
