Hi, I hope someone can help. I have set up redhat 8.0 on a few machines with a view to running 8.0 in a lab here at Heriot-Watt University. I guess the setups haven't been run exactly the same because some machines are acting differently from others. (This has never bothered me in the past as I check that all the machines have the same software later by running 'rpm -qa', comparing the output, and then updating or deleting rpms to make the machines the 'same') But now I have done this, I find only one machine seems to run a konsole from kde correctly. When I fire up a konsole on the machines that don't work correctly, there is no font set and the list of fonts offered is quite large compared to the machine where it is working. The machine on which konsole behaves correctly offers only these 4 fonts from Settings/Font/Custom: Courier Courier 10 Pitch Lucidatypewriter Luxi Mono Monospace and Monospace is the default. Whereas on the machines where the font has to be set explicitly to make it work, there is a much wider choice of fonts, but no default set, and no Monospace font offered. Can someone tell me where this list of fonts is found? Is the xfs font server involved here? By the way, the machine has the monospace font as default, works when I sit at the console, but if I connect to it using exceed from an NT PC, then it also appears broken. I believe I have applied all the RedHat updates that there are. Searching the net I saw a fix that said I should set LANG=C export LANG at the end of /etc/profile.d/lang.sh, but this didn't help. It did remind me however of one fix that I did apply, which was to comment out the 1st line of /etc/sysconfig/i18n to fix the fonts when I run the man command: #LANG="en_GB.UTF-8" Anyway, that's enough rambling. Can anyone shed some light on this?
