Description Pawel Nawrocki 2007-06-10 16:17:02 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 3.5.7, compiled sources)
Compiler:          Target: i486-slackware-linux
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.21.1-smp

When running Font Installer KControl module, it creates a file "00kde" in the directory "/etc/fonts/conf.d". In that file it specifies path "/usr/local/share/fonts" to be used by fontconfig. However, this file is never parsed, and so the newly installed fonts are not found by fc-cache and are not available for the applications.
As written in fonts-conf manual page in the <include> tag descritpion, only those config files in the included directory that end with ".conf" are parsed. Changing the filename from "00kde" to "00kde.conf" fixes the problem for me, and font installation works fine.
