Package:           kcmfonts
Version:           2.0 (using KDE 2.9.2 CVS/CVSup/Snapshot)
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-85)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.9-21
OS/Compiler notes: 

Hi !

I am using the newest KDE form cvs. It looks great but I have some font issues.

I'm using Red Hat 7.1 XFree86 4.1.0 and Qt 3.0.2 but I don't have iso8859-1 fonts installed (only iso 8859-2). I'm trying to use helvetica font (in fact: any font) but all is displayed using fixed width font.

Example:

Looking more at this issue I discovered that installing iso8859-1 font package resolves this issue: iso8859-2 are displayed corretly (but these additional fonts broke down font displaying in my paralel kde 2.2.2 so this isn't satisfying solution).

regards
Krzysztof Kosz

I know about bug #25924 but that was for KDE 2.2.1 and now we have almost 3.0 which is different.

The font in the screenshot looks like Helvetica to me but you say it
is fixed width. Did I misunderstand ?

Well after installing these iso8859-1 fonts (the default ones) Helvetica is 
looking something different :)
See this:

But as I mentioned before these default fonts are breaking iso8859-2 font 
displying in my paralel kde 2.2.2.

Is this bug still present in a recent version of KDE, such as 3.5.8 or KDE 4 RC2?
Comment 4 George Goldberg 2008-01-22 03:38:31 UTC
Closing due to no response by original reporter. Please reopen if this bug is still present in a current version of KDE. (at time of writing: 3.5.8 or 4.0.0)
