Funda, it is better to submit patch onto reviewboard.kde.org It was pointed out to us by one of our users on #fedora-kde IRC that the patch does not work properly as is, because the directory isn't created anywhere. Saving the file to a nonexistent directory then fails. Rex Dieter made a fixed version: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/kde-workspace.git/tree/kde-workspace-4.9.2-fontconfigdir.patch What's happening with this? I don't see it in the pending reviews. After upgrading to Kubuntu 12.10, I got the following message from several applications: "Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf", line 9: reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated." I've now worked around the problem by setting $XDG_CONFIG_HOME. Git commit ffbe409529a1a5b550cf730e748393e8eb3c3a27 by Rex Dieter. Committed on 16/11/2012 at 16:42. Pushed by rdieter into branch 'KDE/4.9'. support $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fontconfig/fonts.conf FIXED-IN: 4.9.4 fontconfig > 2.10.0 supports putting it's user config at $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fontconfig/fonts.conf now.

Description: When I open font settings (Computer/System settings/Application Appearance/Fonts) a file .config/fontconfig/fonts.conf get's written. However, the settings written to this file cause fonts to look "strange". They appear to be thiner than regular, missing some hinting. It seems as either * no file should be written all, as long no settings are changed, and afterwards * the current font settings seem to be errouneusy determinded and written as configuration. Deleting the folder .config/fontconfig restaurates correct font appearance. Oh my, forgot to mention: Clean Kubuntu 13.04 install (4.10.2) Johann, what you see is bug 245664.
