Changing to proper product and component so developer will see this bug.

> font configlibrary not correctly configured

fontconfig is a separate package, reassigning to fontconfig component

Comment 3 Owen Taylor 2003-05-01 11:32:27 EDT

What is 'restartx'?

Do you have extra fonts installed in /usr/share/fonts beyond
what came with Red Hat Linux?

Was the Red Hat 8 system customized in any way? (E.g.,
extra software installed?)

Comment 4 harry van breugel 2003-05-01 16:20:23 EDT

sorry about "restartx": was "startx";

I had extra fonts installed: I had adapted the system to Thai fonts.

Meanwhile I have installed Shrike RH9 without the update option. This didn't raise 
any problems. So probably it was the Thai fonts that caused the problem?

Comment 5 Owen Taylor 2003-05-01 16:59:52 EDT

It would be very interesting if you could try to install the 
Thai fonts on the freshly installed system (by putting them
in a subdirectory of /usr/share/fonts and running fc-cache
as root) and see if the problem reoccurs.

Comment 6 harry van breugel 2003-05-02 04:02:44 EDT

I put Thai fonts in  /usr/share/fonts/Thai directory and ran fc-cache. Then I 
rebooted, but -I don't know if that is of any help!- nothing exceptional happened: 
everything works as before. 

There is a problem though: In Psyche the Thai fonts worked well, but now the Thai 
fonts still don't show in the applications (meaning they aren't installed well yet, I 
think) and so maybe only if that is fixed, may the problem arise again... (I am trying 
to find out how to properly install the Thai fonts again).

Comment 7 Owen Taylor 2004-08-03 19:09:19 EDT

Probably not current to the current codebase any more.
