From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.0 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020528 Description of problem: I've synced two boxes with Raw Hide today and noticed all legacy apps lost access to TrueType fonts (for example xfontsel will only list type1 fonts, not truetype ones) Strangely anough gnome2 apps are fine Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Upgrade to latest rawhide. I suppose the problem lies in one of the XFree86 rpms or in freetype I can provide a list of installed rpms if necessary Actual Results: emacs complains at startup about faces, gnome1-apps ui nows uses minuscule fonts, evo & galeon are ugly... A lot of apps are rendered inusable pending fixes. Since I use 100dpi monitors the 75dpi fallbacks just don't cut it Expected Results: These apps should have displayed cleanly using the configured TT fonts Additional info: (Note that I wonder what would happen if mkfondir changed its font descriptions too much as all old control-center capplets do not exist anymore. How would one change the gtkhtml font for example ?)
Please attach your /etc/X11/fs/config, your X server config to the bug report using the link below. It is possible that the problem you are seeing might be a transient of some kind as we switch to fontconfig/Xft2 infrastructure. Also be sure to restart xfs and X any time you update either of them.
gnome 2 works fine since it's on a whole different font architecture (fontconfig if you have the very bleeding edge, Xft1 otherwise). But the core font configuration is apparently horked.
I always do mkfontdirs and xfs restart whenever font config is borked, unfortunately (maybe because I have an ISO-8859-15 locale) any X upgrade seems to eat the "fixed" font on my setups without this. Anyway here are my config files

XFree86-4.2.0-50.13 freetype-2.1.0-3
Just installed the fontconfig rpm (didn't knew there was one till now), didn't change anything (but didn't break anything new, that's a relief:)
Latest rawhide is now ok freetype-2.1.1-1 XFree86-4.2.0-50.16 Xft-1.9.1.020607.1058-2 (I do wonder which one of these fixed it:)
I'd guess the freetype upgrade; FreeType-2.1.0 had problems with the charmaps in a lot of fonts.
