Thanks! Did you change of the file contents or have settings in you local.conf?

I'm using bitmap fonts too. Check this thread for full configs.

EDIT: A little advice: don't trust fontconfig upgrade - it can overwrite your config (symlinks). Doing something like ls /etc/fonts/conf.d > fonts_config.txt is a good idea IMO.

Gullible Jones · 2006-10-31 21:54:43

It's not supposed to overwrite your symlinks, AFAIK. If you've seen it do that you should probably file a bug...

lanrat · 2006-11-01 19:59:25

I thought that was the purpose of the last release:

Do not touch config files when not needed from post_upgrade.
Add check for missing configuration files, a good guess would be 30-replace-bitmap-fonts.conf, which should exist

There is this bug report that covers this issue I believe. But I guess something is still not right so I'll file the re-open request.

EDIT: Done.

When upgrading a machine of last upgrade in September, the current fontconfig 2.4.1-4, slowed down the whole KDE performance... long login, slow loading when searching for something, and takes time loading apps. First I though fault in last KDE upgrade. But when having same setup in another machine, worked fine when ignoring the fontconfig package.

My local machine which is upgraded every day, works fine. So how to fix it?

I assumed the latest fontconfig is working, so I removed all fonts packages related to it. Also fontconfig and it's remaining files. Installed fontconfig and re-installed all fonts packages.

Now KDE speed performance is better than before. It seems KDE is depending on proper fonts config.

I usually run fc-cache -fv (as root) from CLI after fontconfig or big kde upgrade.

Sorry for the late reply dtw, but I just did ln -s stuff, I didn't have to change local.conf
