Hello,
I recently upgraded to KDE-3.2.1 from KDE-3.2.0-rc1. Both were compiled from
source, and I actually have both installed side-by-side.
I have a number of custom fonts installed on my system,
in /usr/local/share/fonts/. When I run 'fc-cache -v' (as root), among the
output lines is the following:
fc-cache: "/usr/local/share/fonts": skipping, 54 fonts, 0 dirs
(every line of output includes "skipping"; I don't know if that is a problem
or not).
Anyway, these fonts work just fine if I boot into kde-3.2.0-rc1, but many of
them are not working under kde-3.2.1. They all preview correctly in the font
installer KCM, and in konqueror with "fonts:/System/" in the Location bar.
However, if I choose one of these fonts in a KDE app, it renders some default
font instead. This is true for most, but not all, of the fonts installed at
my /usr/local/share/fonts. Non-KDE apps (such as OOo) can use all of these
fonts without any problem, and like I said, KDE apps under kde-3.2.0-rc1 can
use them as well.
Is this familiar to anyone? Is it possible that KDE became more strict about
checking the completeness or validity of fonts after 3.2.0-rc1? How can I
access these fonts from KDE apps, or at least further diagnose the problem?
If you are using KDE-3.2.1, you can try installing one of my non-working
fonts, which I have placed here:

I'd be interested to know if other 3.2.1 users have the same problem.
Thanks in advance,
Jason
