Platform: Pentium M (Dell Latitude D600 laptop),
debian sarge (testing/unstable),
XFree86 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4,
qt 3.3.2-0pre2,
kde 3.2.2-1,
fontconfig 2.2.3-1
When I came back from vacation, I did an "apt-get dist-upgrade" which
upgraded a lot of packages. After this, my own Qt application has
acted strangely. It prints out
Fontconfig error: line 1: unknown encoding
Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file
to the console when starting up, and comes up with a really strange
looking font (from the output resulting from setting FC_DEBUG=1, it
looks like it may be a font called "Arioso"?).
I'm aiming for helvetica, which should be the default font for Qt
anyway.
Is there a way to find the offending file causing the error messages?
Some debug option, perhaps?
I have googled, and seen others on with this error message (mostly on
GTk applications), but no answers to what causes it.
The debian fontconfig package has three config files
/etc/fonts/fonts.conf
/etc/fonts/local.conf
/var/lib/fontconfig/local.conf
They all start with
<?xml version="1.0"?>
I have tried changing that to
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
but it didn't make any difference.
KDE applications work without a hitch. fc-list works without giving
any error messages.
fc-list helvetica
gives me:
Helvetica:style=Bold Italic
Helvetica:style=Italic
Helvetica:style=Bold
Helvetica:style=Regular
fc-cache -v as my own user gives the following output:
fc-cache: "/usr/share/fonts": skipping, no write access
fc-cache: "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1": skipping, no write access
fc-cache: "/usr/local/share/fonts": skipping, no write access
fc-cache: "/home/sb/.fonts": skipping, no such directory
fc-cache: "/var/lib/defoma/fontconfig.d": skipping, no write access
fc-cache: "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts": skipping, no write access
fc-cache: succeeded
fc-cache -v as root gives a lot more output.
There is an environment variable LANG=C set, but no LC_* variables
set.
Thanx!
