As for the problem of wrong fonts (Joachim's first paragraph), I had this problem in two computers that I upgraded from 6.1 to 6.2 and found the cause. The upgrade process forgot to add the 75 dpi fonts to /etc/X11/fs/config. (I don't have 100 dpi fonts installed, this might apply to these fonts also). Adding the 75 dpi font directory solved the problem. I also upgraded Red Hat 6.1 to 6.2. I checked my /etc/X11/fs/config file, and I have the 75dpi and 100dpi directories in the font path, but I still have grainy fonts. The font I'm having most trouble with is -*-times. what are the contents of your /etc/X11/fs/config file? My /etc/X11/fs/config file has the following: ------------------ # # Default font server configuration file for Red Hat Linux 6.0 # # allow a max of 4 clients to connect to this font server client-limit = 4 # when a font server reaches its limit, start up a new one clone-self = off # alternate font servers for clients to use #alternate-servers = foo:7101,bar:7102 # where to look for fonts # Some of these are commented out, i.e. the TrueType and Type1 # directories in /usr/share, because they aren't forced to be # installed alongside X. # catalogue = /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/freefont, /usr/local/mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/Type1 # , # /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1, # /usr/share/fonts/ISO8859-2/misc:unscaled, # /usr/share/fonts/ISO8859-2/75dpi:unscaled, # /usr/share/fonts/ISO8859-2/100dpi:unscaled, # /usr/share/fonts/ISO8859-2/misc, # /usr/share/fonts/ISO8859-2/Type1, # /usr/share/fonts/ISO8859-2/75dpi, # /usr/share/fonts/ISO8859-2/100dpi # in 12 points, decipoints default-point-size = 120 # 100 x 100 and 75 x 75 default-resolutions = 75,75,100,100 # how to log errors use-syslog = on # listen on 7100 to service other font requirements. port = 7100 ---------------------- I have managed to fix most of the problems, but still have a problem with LyX, which uses the font specification -*-times by default. Ben. Just found the problem that I mentioned above. When I upgraded, I moved /etc/X11/fs/config.rpmnew into /etc/X11/fs/config, without noticing that config.rpmnew didn't have the path for 75dpi fonts. My fault. (Hmm... but it would be nice if RPM had set the font paths in config.rpmnew...) |
