... then there is a quick solution. Let fontconfig create a new configuration-file during install. I had that problem on two notebooks, and it slowed KDE down to almost a total halt. This fix is easy and works perfectly.
EDIT:
If the problem is already there, a simple apt-get install --reinstall does not seem to work. My - more complicated - method was:
Code:
apt-get update && apt-get install fontconfig/testing fontconfig-config/testing libfontconfig1/testing
apt-get dist-upgrade
And then of course using the new config, not yours (which would be default).

I am really glad that it works, and etorix did the beautiful line which does not need the workaround through installing of packages out of testing. Unfortunatelly I am quite illiterate regarding programming.
And there is a new fontconfig and fontconfig-config in today' Sid, and it seems to work flawlessly again (no troubles at colleague's notebook which I attend or upgrade from time to time).

By the way, one side affect of using the new /etc/fonts/font.conf is that my start up times are radically faster now, from gui login to kde desktop, maybe 5 times faster, barely visible. That's on two different machines I noticed this.
Remember, if you haven't done a dist-upgrade in the last few days:
Answer 'y' to the /etc/fonts/font.conf question during du setup, not the usual 'n'. |

My opinion would be "clean" install, why would anyone install over an existing install with "troubles" that "may" not go away or add new ones. |

Tryed both
apt-get update && apt-get install fontconfig/testing fontconfig-config/testing libfontconfig1/testing
apt-get dist-upgrade
and
apt-get install --reinstall -o DPkg::Options::=--force-confmiss -o DPkg::Options::=--force-confnew fontconfig fontconfig-config
My fonts are still filthy crispy in antialias mode. Did I miss something?
Am I supposed run do something else after running the two codes above? I run "dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config" after running each of the above codes, but still with no result. Thanks |
