KDE [Misc] [unknown] fonts :(

Please help! I installed terminus font and apply it in konsole application. After than my Droid Sans Mono font became Droid Sans Mono [Misc] and Droid Sans Mono [unknown] and they look really ugly! I can still choose Droid Sans and Droid Sans Mono from System settings, but i cant do this from Konsole Profile settings. Please help! (
I also attach scot of my system settigs and konsole settings windows http://ompldr.org/vYWZzeg
thank you! and sorry for my english.

Copyright means Krontiris owns them. An owner gives or sells a license for others to use them. So, yes, you have to ask for the license before you distribute them.
Most of the references I found, searching with ' "Spiros Krontiris" fonts' were from Russian web-sites. I actually did mean Cyrillic was hampering my search but wasn't clear enough with what I wrote. My mistake.
You may have better search results using "Σπύρου Κροντήρη" than I do.

FOP: unknown font ... problems whith multiple threads

I know that FOP (0.20.5) is not fully threadsafe, so I followed the suggested actions to minimze problems and even serialized the core FOP processing in my report threads:
/** Semaphore to synchronize FOP processing. */
static private final Object fopSerializer = new Object();
private File createPDF(...) {
synchronized (fopSerializer) {
}so each concurrent thread that wants to create a PDF via FOP should be serialized and therefore, only 1 thread is using FOP at a time. However, if I run lots of those threads, sometimes I still get those "unknown font ..." error message once in a while that I don't get when running all such threads in sequence.

Please try your test with latest ODP.NET patch 9202100.

Fonts in KDE vs X fonts available to xfontsel

I am not KDE expert, I always liked Window Maker. Now I can't run it, so I am trying to work with KDE and use its toys - like "konsole".
After kdebase upgrade I can't configure konsole to satisfy my needs.
In the font selection I can choose only from 6 fonts:
- Andale Mono
- Bitstream Vera Sans Mono
- Courier New
- Monospace
- Sans Serif
- Serif
Only two fonts (Andale and Courier) have correct encoding (iso-8859-2).
Both looks very bad in terminal, it's not possible to work that way for long time.
When I run "xfontsel" I have much more fonts to choose. For example helvetica or fixed - and they have correct -2 encoding.
What kind of fonts are used in KDE konsole? How to change them? Where to configure it? What should I install to have more fonts there? I have all *fonts* from pacman installed.
PS. xorg7 if that matters

from fonts you have listed only Sans Serif and Serif used to have good encoding for us Polish users, but as for now it seems to be broken (dunno why, just stopped working after one of updates) and as for now I use windows fonts (these work - eg. Tahoma is just fine for kde), apart from this try using unicode fonts. For the terminal I use font named "clean", but to enable it you have to link /etc/fonts/conf.d/10-bitmap.conf to yes-bitmaps.conf

KDE *3.5* fonts from withing XFCE

Hi there;
I am using XFCE, with Openbox as a window manager, up until KDE4.1 came along (to the repos) I have managed changing fonts of KDE apps using 'kcontrol', now it is no longer available.
KDE's 'systemsettings' can change the KDE 4.1 apps fonts nicely, but it doesnt change the fonts of KDE3.5 apps
I have tried both /usr/bin/qtconfig and /opt/qt/bin/qtconfig and they do not affect font settings as well.
Any clues?

I'm currently running a few standalone kde packages and don't have kcontrol to double check firsthand, but i grabbed this off a kde wiki:

How can I get sounds notifications working in KDE without aRts:

Then go to KControl -> Sound & System Notification -> System Notifications -> More Options -> Player Settings (click on it) -> Use external player (check that) open the dialog, choose the player you like for example /usr/bin/ogg123 or aplay.

Kde vs i3wm font rendering

Hi all,
I am migrating from KDE to i3wm. I see a huge difference in the rendering of the fonts between kde font rendering and i3wm font rendering.
I would like to know how I can get i3wm to render fonts correctly.

litemotiv wrote:
KDE overrides font rendering rules through it's preferences panel (System Settings > Appearance > Fonts), this should be a matter of finding out what tweaks you have made there and apply them to fontconfig manually.
Everything you need to know about font configuration should be available in the wiki. If you have questions about specific details it is fine to ask them here, but something like "how I can get i3wm to render fonts correctly" will only solicit generic responses obviously.
Start here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Font_Configuration
Tip: many people prefer Infinality for their advanced font tweaking needs.
I noticed that KDE changes ~/.fonts.conf contents based on the changes made in 'system settings'. Since this file (even though deprecated) is used by fontconfig, it should cause the same rendering in other WMs as well.

Kde konsole messes fonts - gnome-terminal looks ok. Reason?

I have strange situation - after some upgrade couple of days ago fonts in KDE konsole broke. To make it more specific - standard fonts look more or less ok, but when I use my national characters (like ąćęłńśóźż) they all look broken - like from another font, or badly scaled.
The same problem doesn't exist in gnome-terminal.
I usually use Terminus font, so I used this for demonstration, but it shows in other fonts as well - if that will be necessary I will provide list.
Konsole shot:
gnome-terminal shot:
As for my settings:

InputDevice "touchpad"
EndSection
=$ xdpyinfo | grep -E resolution\|dimensions
dimensions: 1680x1050 pixels (444x277 millimeters)
resolution: 96x96 dots per inch
I tried forcing DPI in system settings (to 120), or adding monitor size to xorg.conf - so far nothing helped.
Any idea on what should I do to make it work sanely again?

I've got the same problem. It looks like KDE does not read all characters for Terminus font, or reads in only one encoding. If you go to System settings -> Font installer, you see that terminus has very few characters there, and does not have special national characters.
However, I've no idea how this can be solved. I'd guess it's some bug in KDE, but on the other hand downgrading KDE to previous version does not help at all.
Any ideas?

KDE: After new font install Times New Roman lags/crashes OpenOffice

Hallo all,
This problem has been troubling me since I first switched to Linux with Open Suse a couple years back. I got around it on Kubuntu without installing new fonts...
But the other day I decided to give it a go, thinking it might be a bug in KDE3 that was fixed in 4. So I installed a ton of fonts for Photoshopping and now, just like the first time, Times New Roman looks ugly in OpenOffice and if I'm trying to open a document that's .doc or .rtf and written in Times it lags Writer and typically crashes instead of opening. This is a problem since friends send me stuff all the time and they are Windows users.
Strangely if I print with Times it looks like it's supposed to but otherwise it's ugly. It looks this way in KOffice, too. I'm not so much concerned with that as I am with the lagging and crashing Writer, though.
If this is a bug then it must be pretty old. Has anyone else encountered this before?
The Defaults button is also grayed out in the KDE Font Installer. Anyone know why? If I can just revert to default with fonts then I will.
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply!
I have installed the MS fonts. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling it. This problem only started when I installed a bunch of new fonts that I've collected over the years for Photoshopping.
Using the replacement thing doesn't work, either; whenever I open a Times New Roman doc the font is still the same. It only freezes or crashes for really long documents but that's still a problem for me. Also it looks really ugly.
I'd honestly be fine if I could just restore the defaults but the Defaults button is grayed out in the font installer
I only assume that that would fix it, though. I think the problem is that one of the fonts I installed messed up Times New Roman. The problem is that I've got hundreds of em and I don't know which ones are mine and which ones came with KDE/MS fonts.

Unknown font error in Adobe reader

Hi Team,
We have developed a PDF form (interactive form) using Adobe Live Cycle Designer ES 8.2
When we open the form using Adobe Reader 7 or later, we are getting a pop up stating - "Adobe Reader has found component 'Chinese traditional Fonts' and its size is 7.88 MB. Do you want to proceed with the download of this component?".
Apparently, we did not use any chinese fonts on our PDF form and the reason behind this error is still clueless.
Our main restriction in this case is the end users count for this form is more and they do not have permisiion to dowload the Chinese component. Kindly address the scenario / clarify our questions.
1. Is there any way to locate the chinese font used in the form (if any) - We have tried Preflight option under Adobe Acrobat to genrate a font report and that did not help.
2. Any alternate way to re design the form to avoid the chinese font inclusion
3. Any particular property of fields to be checked for the chinese character inclusion - We have already treid the Form Propoerties -> Fonts under Adobe Acrobat, under which all the fonts used were ANSI encoded.
If required we would be able to share the PDF form, please let us know the mode of sharing for the same.
Looking forward to hear a helpful solution.
Note: The error pop up did not come when opened with Adober reader versions X & later.
Cheers, Kavi

yes i have the latest version, however I notes somthing in document properties see the following :
when i open document in xp this is the properties
and when i open it in windows 7, i got this:
note that arabic transparent-bold, actual font type :Unkown??!!!! why ?

Unknown font name appearing in some styles

After importing xml and applying fonts with XML rules, there are some places in my document - typically, lines with nothing but an insertion point from a \r above - that have [No Paragraph Style] or an existing style applied, however, the Font and Font Style are [Times] and [Roman] respectively. I don't know where these come from, and do not know how to get rid of them.
So, when I save and reopen the document, I get a missing font dialog.
At first I thought it was only with [No Paragraph Style] instances, so I could solve by replacing those. However, it seems to be wherever an carriage return is added in the text at the end of existing styles. So, replacing all of a specific style with an existing will not work.
I need to find and replace all instance of the Font - and yet, I see from other posts that in InDesign CS 3 5.0 I cannot find missing fonts with a script.
Does anyone know of a solution?
Thanks for your help.

Perhaps it's some sort of incompatibility with Quicktime, which is the foundation of the iLife apps.
A workaround might be to create your menu background in Photoshop, using your new font, and export a jpg version. You'll be able to drop this onto iDVD's background (not into a drop box) and it will replace the existing theme background.

Audition saves to unknown font?

I had to install Audition (3.0) to my laptop while the desktop computer's problems are dealt with. I'm extracting tracks from my audio CDs and saving the resulting WAV files to mp3's to save room on the iPod. (Books on CD have such astonishingly awful sound that there's, for all practical purposes, no loss!)
When I drag the .mp3 files to the iPod, and also when I play them in Windows Media Player, the filenames show up as outline box characters and tildes. A little snooping discovered that the titles of the files (properties/summary) have the same number and kind of characters, presumably representing the same unreadable characters. iPod and Windows Media evidently use these titles as their track names.
Have I inadvertently done something odd to the program or am I just missing a font? (but why wouldn't this information be in a system font...)
More detail below, for anyone who needs it.
TIA
molly
The summary window simple view for the mp3 files has editable spaces for title and comments -- the other lines are greyed out. Nothing is editable in the summary window for the WAV files.
Here's the procedure: I extract all the tracks to one file, trim the ends ("change the CD" etc) and save as a Windows PCM WAV file (which I've always done). I select about a third of the tracks (using the 'snap' function so tracks are exact) at a time and save each selection to an mp3 file named something like Book01_01 (.mp3 added by program).
This computer is running XP with service pack 2 plus updates. I'm saving to an external -- always did that with the desktop too -- tried saving to the laptop's C: drive -- made no difference. The damaged computer was much fancier and was running Vista, while it worked. I never had the problem. I was given Premiere Pro (CS3) with the computer (couldn't stomach Soundbooth so bought Audition) so it had Bridge and probably a bunch of fonts and I can't guess what else installed.
Since this is a temporary installation and I only have dialup, I haven't upgraded Audition.

Yep.
<In Edit View, go to File>File Info and in the Text Field Names box, select the MP3 ID3 tag
Changing to to Mp3 did the trick -- no further input needed as I name files so that they can be sorted in sequence (as they were arranged on the CD). Windows Media and iTunes then read the filenames.
But I wonder why I hadn't had the problem before -- if RIFF was the default when saving to WAV, as it seem it must have been.
Another thing I learned while fooling around -- the convenience of extracting a CD to a single waveform with the tracks marked is a function of "save extra non-audio information!" I'd thought it was in the .pk files saved with WAV files.
Anyway, thanks a lot.
molly
Reply's a bit late as I had opportunity to test it by extracting the files from discs 2 to 7 of a set, of which I'd extracted disc 1 before I came to my wits' end and this forum. Both Windows Media and iTunes displayed the filenames -- I'd guess from that that any player would.

[Solved] Substituting an unknown font in a pdf

Hello all,
I just downloaded a pdf that has some fonts which are not included in my font selection. evince tells me that their names are "CourierNewPSMT" and "CourierNewPS-BoldMT". Unfortunately, the font manager seems to think that it is a good idea to substitute "Liberation Mono" (a monospace font!). I think that a pdf containing only monospace fonts is rather annoying, so I would like to substitute "Liberation Sans" instead. To this end I created a file "~/.config/font-manager/local.conf" containing
the following xml code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<match target="font">
<test qual="any" name="family">
<string>CourierNewPSMT</string>
</test>
<edit name="family" mode="assign" binding="same">
<string>Liberation Sans</string>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>
I restarted evince, I noticed that the file is read (evince complains if the syntax is wrong), but unfortunately the substitution remains the same.
Does anyone know how to correctly substitute fonts using font-manager?
Last edited by x2b (2013-09-03 14:32:15)

Well I tried this:
<match>
<test name="family"><string>CourierNewPSMT</string></test>
<edit mode="assign" name="family" binding="strong">
<string>Liberation Sans</string>
</edit>
</match>
But the font is still subsituted by "Liberation Mono". I am unsure whether this night not be a problem specific to evince: If I type in
fc-match "CourierNewPSMT"
on a terminal then the response is
LiberationSans-Regular.ttf: "Liberation Sans" "Regular"

How to install gecko-mediaplayer without corrupting kde fonts

Hi,
After installing gecko-mediaplayer with pacman, the Sans Serif and Monospace fonts I use in KDE went kind of fuzzy. Removing gecko and its dependencies restored the fonts to their proper state. I'm guessing its something to do with the fact that gecko requires ttf-dejavu as a dependency. Does anyone know why this might be happening? It's not a huge issue (I'm sure I can live without gecko) I'm just curious to understand why.

(This is a slightly old post, but not responded to -- I have been looking for details on this for days and finally figured it out for the most part on my own. I figured I'd share my results and respond at the same time)
You're right, it does have something to do with ttf-dejavu. I could repeatedly install that dependency, close konsole, reopen it -- and the fonts were corrupted. Uninstall it, close konsole, open it -- fonts are fine again. While looking around and not finding anything, I finally came across some faq that said to install all of this crap, which ONLY MADE THINGS WORSE:
font-bh-ttf ttf-cheapskate ttf-isabella ttf-junicode ttf-ms-fonts ttf-dejavu ttf-mph-2b-damase artwiz-fonts terminus-font font-bitstream-speedo gsfonts ttf-bitstream-vera xf86bigfontproto xorg-fonts-100dpi xorg-fonts-75dpi xorg-fonts-alias xorg-fonts-encodings xorg-fonts-misc xorg-fonts-type1 ftgl font-mathematica ttf-freefont
It made things 'worse' because even after uninstalling those things (unlike what happened with ttf-dejavu), which had my whole desktop with corrupted fonts, the problem wouldn't go away. It led to the conclusion that ttf fonts clearly screwed everything up. Other fonts seemed to work fine. Checked xorg, and freetype2 was loaded as a module and installed, bitmap was loaded as a module, blah blah. I made a new account just out of curiosity..... amazingly, the fonts were weird but working properly. No more strange corruption. So, I went around looking for font folders or whatnot to get rid of in the hopes that starting over would fix it.
It did fix it.
I think all I did was..
rm -r ~/.fontconfig ~/.fonts ~/.fonts.conf and rebooted for grins. It worked fine for me \o/. Even better, installing ttf-dejavu and all the crap above after that also worked properly after that.
However, I would note that occasionally when I would open konsole, it would be screwed up again. Closing it and opening it again fixed it. I did fc-cache -fs afterwards (as the NORMAL user) in the hopes it would cure that and I haven't seen it happen since, though it could be a coincidence.
LONG STORY SHORT:
(normal user)
rm -r ~/.fontconfig ~/.fonts ~/.fonts.conf
fc-cache -fs
reboot
Good to go if xorg has the right modules and all the ttf stuff is installed.
Good luck
Edit: ...sigh. Wtf. Plasma randomly crashed, and the fonts are corrupted again, and none of the above folders exist anymore...
Edit2: .....wtf? logging out and in after the above crash, everything is correct again. except konsole, which (like usual after installing ttf stuff) is corrupted until closing it once then opening it again. i wish someone would figure out how to permanently deal with this.
Edit3: It seems after everything is 'fixed' there are a few things that aren't, so I suspect there's another font file/folder somewhere I need to get rid of. alt+f2 brings up krunner or whatever, and the fonts are totally corrupted as before. I'll post if I figured it out, though it's not a high priority atm.

New KDE system fonts unrecognized

Hello,
In KDE 3.5.6 Control Center, Font Installer, if I use administrator mode to add "system-wide" fonts, the fonts are added but never recognised. I can add personal fonts (in ~/.fonts) using control center no problem, and they are picked up after I relogin.
I wonder whether the problem is that KDE installs these fonts in /usr/local/share/fonts?? The ttf files for the fonts have been copied...
How do I get KDE to recognise these fonts "system-wide"?
Thanks
Dale

I have investigated a bit and found a solution, but its not very clean and also needs a patch for KDEbase...
At first, apply this patch to kdebase:
diff -u --recursive --new-file kdebase-3.5.6.orig/kcontrol/kfontinst/kio/KioFonts.cpp kdebase-3.5.6/kcontrol/kfontinst/kio/KioFonts.cpp

+++ kdebase-3.5.6/kcontrol/kfontinst/kio/KioFonts.cpp 2007-02-28 12:38:18.000000000 +0100
@@ -767,8 +767,8 @@
itsFolders[FOLDER_USER].location=dir;
- QString sysDefault("/usr/local/share/fonts/"),
- sysDir(getFontFolder(sysDefault, "/usr/local/share/", dirs));
+ QString sysDefault("/usr/share/fonts/"),
+ sysDir(getFontFolder(sysDefault, "/usr/share/", dirs));
if(sysDir.isEmpty())
It changes the dir for font installation to /usr/share/fonts...
To make it work, you also have to issue a "sudo mkfontdir /usr/share/fonts" ... I did it after installing a font with the patched font installer. Without issuing mkfontdir after installing a font, the font was not visible in my apps...
You must also add FontPath "/usr/share/fonts" to your xrog.conf
Well, it seems that the KDE font installer is badly broken (??) because there is no way to make it recognize the subfolders in /usr/share/fonts... The patch could be modified to point to /usr/share/fonts/TTF for example, but then you can only install TTF fonts with it...
I think its always better to install prepackaged fonts with pacman or just install them to your ~/.fonts with kfontinst...
Well, i simply have no experience with installing fonts or their defaults or whatnot, so dont blame me for that "solution", i know its cheap

KDE fonts under Gnome doesn't look good

Ok, most people complains about GTK fonts under KDE. I have the inverse problem, my kde apps doesn't look good into gnome.
If I run kde, the fonts are displayed properly with small size, but if I run gnome and the run a kde app, the fonts are very big.
When i run a gtk app under kde, the fonts are showed properly but it doesn't use my gnome theme.
Anyone have a solution on making kde apps looking good under gnome?

Even though it's the inverse problem, it's likely still the same solution. Gnome has a Gconf setting for DPI. Otherwise you change it as an option to X. Where you do so depends on how you start up X though (startx, xdm, kdm, gdm, etc). I'll post back once I'm in Gnome and tell you where you can change the DPI.
