system FONTS are gone!!!!!!
Hey guys
I have seriouse problem with my linux box. I was configuring mozilla for different plugins. Hence I needed to install different applications to support these pluggins. Stuff I installed (using tar): gtk+-2.2.2 glib-2.2.2 pango-1.2.2 jpeg-6b tiff-v3.5.7 atk-1.2.4 So Everything worked fine i installed all these packages got mozilla to work with plugins then i rebooted my machine and BANG!! .... Upon the logon screen I see no fonts whatsoever i type my user name and password cant see the fonts. So i blindly login and now i cant see fonts that were in my menu icons and desktop icons dont have any fonts under them either. Only fonts i CAN see is inside a terminal i can see what i type and in mozilla. My question how can i restore my system fonts? Because my system is like crippled now. Need HELP. Thanks in advance |
Wow... Thats scary, I have no idea how to help, but I am very intereted in finding a way. I will see if I can find anything on this anywhere else, have you tied googling it?

OH yeah i tried googling it but no luck. Hopefully someone here can help me out. I tell ya its like working in a dark room with no fonts. This sucks. I also tried restarting xfs no luck in resolving this problem. I also did:
# chkfontpath --list Current directories in font path: 1: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled 2: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled 3: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled 4: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc 5: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 6: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo 7: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic 8: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF 9: /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1 10: 11: /usr/lib/openoffice/share/fonts/truetype Maybe the problem is with item '10' theres no path there im not sure. But the problem is still active. |
my chkfontpath --list shows the exact same info ...
get to a terminal and try fc-cache and fc-list |

I've just installed amsn, now I wanted to start it (as root, stupid... anyway: ) and got that error:
[root@Wohnzimmer jonas]# amsn TkpGetFontFromAttributes: cannot get any font Perhaps it's useful for some of you and you know now how to fix everything? I hope so... ;-) |
