Has anyone else effected with xorg-fonts problems? this seem to start with this last apt upgrade I've made last night.
The symptoms are identical to the previous issue

no - actually made things slightly worse - now i can't see the font at the kdm login screen. (btw - the first command i assumed was "rm" not "m")
maybe this is a clue: some of the blank (invisible) text appears when i mouse over it or select it |

Are you using accellerated video drivers?
Did you reinstall them?
<edit> What I'm saying is, I had the same problem, until I ran the "update-scripts-kanotix.sh" and "install-nvidia-debian.sh" scripts after the dist-upgrade. |

I actually couldn't see the last few lines of what "eco2geek" wrote about re-installing the video drivers (in my case nVidia) so, once I did:
Code:
update-scripts-kanotix.sh
and then
Code:
install-nvidia-debian.sh
after the dist-upgrade
everything worked smooth again....
thanks  |

eco2geek hat folgendes geschrieben::

I just tried that and there is no change. Fonts are still "now you see 'em, now you don't."
actually, i don't think this should be called a "font problem" but a display problem.
here is another bug, which may or may not be related:
1. go into console mode using [CTRL] + [ALT] + [F1].
2. enter "init 3"
3. instead of going straight into single-user mode, the screen blanks out and presents me with another console log-in.
4. then i can log in to another console (i think it's called TTY2), and THEN i can enter "init 3" to get the expected result, i.e. single-user mode
if this is not related, maybe i'll start another thread... |

<< Fonts are still "now you see 'em, now you don't." >>
Zitat:
The new kde 3.5.4 may distort or break the fonts in gtk applications.
The fix for this is simple. After the dist-upgrade, when you're back in kde:
1. Go in kcontrol (control center) -> Appearances and Themes -> Fonts
2. Disable antialiased fonts ( uncheck the box if checked )
3. Save [apply], Re-enable [check] again, and save [apply] again
<from the du-fixes-h2.sh current warnings page> |

| tried that, but no changes. still can't see most of the text on screen. maybe i'll just have to bite the bullet and reinstall. is there a way to generate a list of all programs i've added (with apt) since my last install? i realize my config settings are kept, but it would be nice to know all the little progs i've added |
