Only non-KDE2 apps are werking -- weird (solved)
by Thomas Stromberg on Sunday 18/Mar/2001, @19:31

Welp, I deinstalled X and everything depending on it today for a fresh start. So I installed: XFree86 4.0.3, Qt 2.3.0 + xft, and KDE 2.1

And a great mystery happened: If I start a normal QT2 app, like qhacc, or avifile/aviplay, it works great. If I try a kde app, watch:

helix@subedei (~)% export QT_XFT=false
helix@subedei (~)% kcalc
(works great!)
helix@subedei (~)% export QT_XFT=true
helix@subedei (~)% kcalc
KCrash: crashing.... crashRecursionCounter = 2
KCrash: Application Name = kcalc path = <unknown>

If this happens to you, or KDE starts blank, do a ktrace on the process -- you will see which TTF file it's trying to read and crashing on. I guess KDE tries to load every font?

Unfortunatly, I had 357 truetype fonts, and I don't yet want to go through them one by one to see what's crashing. The microsoft fonts work great however.. ugh. That was a sick statement to make

Thank You!

I had everything working fine, then it suddenly broke for this very reason. After this post I'm exiting mozilla and restarting konqueror.

Thanks again!
