(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: konsole Version: 1.0.2 (using KDE 2.2.1 ) Severity: normal Installed from: SuSE Compiler: gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (SuSE) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.10 OS/Compiler notes: Hello (sorry i try to write in english!) when you select the font antialiasing in the controlcenter then the fonts only in "konsole" are damaged. All characters write with a to small width? a workaround ist to start with the script: export QT_XFT=0 exec konsole the script export QT_XFT=1 exec konsole shows the effect. Thanks Helmut (Submitted via bugs.kde.org) (Called from KBugReport dialog)
Known problem duplicate report. Konsole has a "--noxft" parameter.
I found this issue after the following process: 1) build/install QT while using X4.2.1 2) build/install KDE 3.1.x 3) upgrade X to X 4.3.0 X 4.3.0 changes from Xft1.2 to Xft2.0 as default font renderer. My solution used the QT_XFT=0 to start, but the real solution is to rebuild QT against the new Xft in X 4.3.0 -- This is painless, other than the build time. There are suggestions that you need a patch from K Packard in some cases, but on my Slackware system it was unnessesary as far as I can tell. This also eliminated the misaligned/incorrectly spaced fonts in Konsole and in other applications that used QT to create text panels ( I found on KDE 3.1.1 that the problem also affected many toolbar objects, creating panels that were several screen widths wide if an affected font was used on the toolbar/titlebar)
