From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.2) Gecko/20010725 Description of problem: The first time a user starts kde the fonts are nice. After logging out of kde and restarting X all the fonts are courier. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.add a new user to your system 2.login as that user 3.start kde. 4.click 'next' for all that 'customize' your desktop stuff. 5.when kde has finished loading observe the nice fonts. 6.logout of kde. 7.restart kde 8.observe the ugly courier that has taken over. Actual Results: i observed the ugly courier Expected Results: don't go changing fonts unless the user has configured it that way Additional info: i just updated kde rpm's with the latest from rawhide and still had this problem.
Ahhh, I just noticed something.... In step 4, I incorrectly wrote just click next all the way through. On one of the screens it asks you something about how many 'bells and whistles' do you want KDE to have. There is a little slider on the screen. I had been dragging this to the max. Doing so causes this problem. If you don't do that, and accept the default, courier font is not thrust upon you.
This is because bitmapped fonts (e.g. Helvetica, Times) can't be antialiased, and the hightest Eye-Candy setting enables anti-aliasing. You need to have suitable fonts for this to work: Install the urw-fonts and ttfonts packages Update qt to 2.3.1-3 (rawhide) and it'll work.
