Subject: xconfig font problems

Hi,

since somewhen in the 2.6.5-rc series, I have some font problems
in make xconfig. I just see rectangles instead of letters...
However, numbers are displayed correctly. (I use Fedora.)

Does anyone know a solution.

Best regards, Daniel

Someone I know who had the same problem removed the .fonts.cache-1 file and
the .qt directory from their home directory, and it fixed it. I'm guessing
it was just the font cache file that needed to go though...

I removed .fonts.cache-1 and the .qt directory in /root and in my home
directory. I also removed .gconf, .gconfd and every .fonts.cache-1
file on the entire hard drive, but the problem remains (even after
rebooting).

Best regards, Daniel
