Description Eric Fowler 2003-11-22 03:47:38 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1)
Gecko/20030225

Description of problem:
Ran UP2DATE on 11/21, it downloaded lots of packages for XFree86.
After the install conpleted successfully I shut the box down to run
errands. I came back later, started the box up. When I logged in to
KDE, I noticed my desktop, menu and konqueror icons and fonts were all
jaggy. Application fonts and icons in Mozilla and OOo look just fine.
I logged out of KDE, then back into Gnome, all looked fine there. But
I and prefer to work in KDE, so I'm filing a bug report. Interestingly
enough, I have the same problem with the "stock" version of Fedora
Core 1 I've been testing on another partition on the same box. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log into KDE.
2.
3.
    

Actual Results:  Icons and fonts in base apps all jaggy.

Expected Results:  Smooth bluecurve graphics and fonts

Additional info:

I'm running an Nvidia Quadro 550 using the Nvidia unified driver
version 1.0-4496 in dual-head mode at 1280*1024 @ 24 bits.

I've experienced this same problem on two different systems. 
 
Both are running Red Hat 9, with all updates applied, using KDE as the 
desktop. 
 
The problem does seem to be interaction between KDE and the latest 
XFree86 updates. 
 
After the XFree86 update, KDE reverts to a default font. 
 
If you try to change the font, in Konqueror for example, using: 
  configure->appearance->standard font 
 
No font is listed in the drop-down menu. Clicking on the drop-down to 
attempt to set a font causes KDE to hang. 
 
The same occurs in control panel when trying to change fonts.
