Created attachment 56853 [details] A screenshot with a broken text (#1). Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.5.1) OS: Linux When I resume my laptop from suspend to disk, most of the letters in KDE windows are broken - see attachments. This affects also windows created after resuming. However letters in Google Chrome (tested only a window started before hibernating) or gnome-terminal (tested only a window started after hibernating) are ok. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start KDE 2. Suspend to disk 3. Restore system Actual Results: Letters in KDE menu, tooltips, task manager (I mean a bar with running applications) and windows related to KDE (settings, konsole, kate) are almost unreadable. Expected Results: All letters are displayed identically to those displayed before suspending. OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.35-25-generic (Ubuntu 10.10, instaled as 10.10 = not upgraded from previous ones) Compiler: cc KDE installed manually using apt-get.
I have found a way how to make the text readable again (of course without restarting Ubuntu). I'm translating names 1. Goto to System Settings 2. Choose Font Installer (in section System Administration) 3. On the list choose DejaVu Sans Mono (it's used by default in KDE menus) 4. Click "Add..." button. It seems that in this moment fonts are refreshed and they look normal again :) I couldn't work out, which font is used in window bar, but clicking on the first font, holding Down arrow until all fonts are displayed in the preview and then clicking "Add..." works :) If you don't see any effect, try draggin mouse over those broken letters. They should be refreshed finally.
It seems, that my workaround has worked only once. I must have done something else before it, but can't recall what.
Feel free to reopen the report if the problem still happens in recent versions ( KDE SC 4.8.4 or higher). Thanks.
