Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.7) Installed from: SuSE RPMs OS: Linux I met the problem when upgrading from KDE 3.5.7 in OpenSUSE 10.2 to the same KDE in OpenSUSE 10.3. But it *seems* to be related to KDE and not distribution-specific, so I'm reporting it here. I hope it'll be useful. I've been using the "DejaVu Sans" fonts for a long time now, the "DejaVu Sans Condensed" font to be precise. Now, in the KDE font picker, the "DejaVu Sans" font is available, but not the Condensed one, even though it is installed. I can access it through Gimp, for example. I found an analysis of the problem in the Gentoo forums: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-566403.html The only surprising thing is that I didn't have the problem with OpenSUSE 10.2 (same Qt, same KDE). Maybe because X.org was older and FontConfig wasn't yet using "preferred family".
Hello, Can you still reproduce the bug with the latest KDE 4 release? Thanks.
KDE4.1.3. Still happens.
This bug on KDE4 is due a QT4 bug not interpreting all the font styles : http://trolltech.com/developer/task-tracker/index_html?id=143304
It's still present in 4.2 as well. But seeing as the bug has the label "Some future release" on the Qt bugtracker I don't think it will be fixed soon. As a workaround I set the fonts manually in various config files (~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals, ~/.kde/share/config/kdesktoprc and ~/.qt/qtrc).
