I just built gnome2.4 from source into RPMS, and I am having a problem that I can't track down. I was able to get it going, but my control-panel RPM was missing several libs (/usr/lib/bonobo and /usr/lib/window-manager). Once I repackaged this, and installed it I seemed to have lost the default fonts! Literally, the fonts are gone or are so small they appear to be only pixels. Chances are that these were not working before, but when the control-panel started working it loaded fonts that for some reason were not happy. Without fonts I pull up gnome-font-properties and it seems that the only fonts that are working are: console fangsong ti fixed LucidaTyperwriter MiscFixed Which are all bitmap fonts (/usr/share/fonts/bitmap-fonts/). Xfs is running, and aimed at good directories with fonts.cache-1 and font.dirs and has no errors in syslog. /etc/gnome/fonts/fontmap2 also is aimed at real fonts. Of course I already tried removing all config files in ~, but that did not help... Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated! THANKS! BTW, I signed up to the list yesterday but have not recieved anything yet. Please CC me directly to make sure that I get it (too many spam filters are not always a good thing ;). -- Greg M.
