[SOLVED] QT fonts corrupted?

I'm having some problems with my fonts in QT, see screenshot for example.
Any idea as to what could be wrong, and how I would fix it?

@SamC If you have a LCD with vrgb than at the moment stepping back to qt 4.4.x would be the better solution. See here: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/13977
If not, than playing with the "antialiasing" and "sub-pixel rendering" settings of fontconfig (/etc/fonts/conf.d or ~/.fonts.conf) could solve it. Good luck.

Font corruption

Hello everyone,
since a long time, I've been experiencing slight font corruption in Gecko powered applications (Firefox/Thunderbird), that were going away when highlighting the culprit characters. Lately I've been getting it, except that it's worse, doesn't go away (I suspect the new GTK or kernel) and happened in Geany too.
Xorg logs don't have any errors and dmesg only show
radeon 0000:01:00.0: Packet0 not allowed!
repeatidly. The issue doesn't seems to be a hardware problem since it only happens with specific applications. I tried switching from Glamor to EXA, without success and memtest86 says that my RAM is okay.
Using radeonSI with an AMD radeon R9 280X (7970).
A picture of the problem.

I would try disabling "damage" in xorg, e.g. /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-damage.conf, containing:
Section "Extensions"
Option "DAMAGE" "False"
EndSection

Font corruption in GTK apps only

For a day or so now I have been seeing quite bad font corruption in GTK apps -- gtk-demo and Chromium both have this problem. QT apps are not affected. Forcing a font cache rebuild with `sudo fc-cache -rf` did not help the situation, and neither did reinstalling the affected fonts.
I did not upgrade or install any packages between the font rendering being fine, and it being corrupted (see the screenshot).

Any ideas?

I've seen corruption like this with a lot of cairo apps because the text to be rendered is sent to a buggy EXA driver. Does text look better if you turn off EXA acceleration?

Issue with Fonts Corrupting in ID CS5

We've been using the Helvetica LT Std type family forever in our marketing materials. While it's not the greatest font family anymore, we still want to stay consistant. Recently upgraded our machines, and software (CS3 to CS5) and are now having issues with those fonts corrupting. Basically, they randomly throw "superscripts" and glyph type symbols throughout the document (see below). If I switch it out to a different font, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Has anyone ever come across this?
Regards,
David

Mac OS X 10.6.4
I've uploaded all of my typefaces in Font Book. When I remove the Helvetica LT Std family from Font Book and then try opening the document again, it tells me that the fonts are missing. Meaning, it's not pulling a different font.
The weird thing is when I select the type change it to "Impact" the characters display correctly. When I change it to "Myriad" they are still corrupt. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reasonings to the why.
And thanks for the link, I've started reading through the key sections of that. WIth the fonts coming up missing when they are removed from Font Book, it doesn't appear to be that. So confused.

Help!! Menu Font corrupted after after upgrading P...

Hi all,
Pls help.
I've just upgraded the PR1.2 over the air.
It was done very smooth during and right after the upgrade.
When I switched off and on again the phone, all the menu font corrupted.
e.g.
Inside menu.
"All" -> now "ai_category_all"
"desk" -> now "ai_category_desk"
etc.
I add screen capture.
When I go to the "system setting", and check the "language and region", I found there is no language.
Since i installed some Chinese app right before upgrade, I am guessing whether this app corrupts some system file.
Could any of you expert help..?
br,
alex

Hi all guru,
I feel very frustrated with the language support problem after PR1.2 upgrade as cpitchford mentioned.
How could I recover this ?
Will the Re-flash help ? If so, how to do so?

Font corrupt problem

I am running a java servlet that do graphics rendering and generate jpg file and send to the client browser. But I got the following
Assertion failed: offset < fFileSize, file ../../../src/share/native/sun/awt/font/fontmanager/fontobjects/fontObject.cpp, line 256
It looks like the fonts corrupted. But where is the fonts? Could I replace it? Or is there any way to fix this problem?
Thanks,
Iris

Can you run GraphicsEnvironment.getAllFonts() successfully? If you can, then try to render each font in turn until you crash, and you might be able to pin down which font it is.

Fonts corrupted when import the Outlook Vcard

I have tried to exported the Outlook contacts to VCard format (.vcf) before importing into Mac Address Book, but the characters were all corrupted (messy)!
do i need to find a tool/converter to convert the character after importing the contacts? pls help. thx.

Sir, sorry that I would like to remind you that the Fonts (should be all the Chinese ones) are corrupted, but the digits and English fonts are correct.
Wrong encoding normally only corrupts Chinese and other languages, not English.
so could you pls help to tell me how to solve it? Thx!
Make sure your TextEdit app is set to Plain Text everywhere in its Preferences.
Open your .vcf file with TextEdit via File > Open.
If the Chinese displays correctly, then do Save As and change the encoding to UTF-16. Set the name of the file as 16test.vcf.
Try to import into Address Book.

[SOLVED] Java Font Too Small in OpenBox

I usually use Cinnamon, but decided to give OpenBox a whirl again. I am encountering a problem with OpenBox and the size of fonts in Java apps. I'm using the Oracle JDK, not OpenJDK.
These first screenshots show the font on OpenBox being too small:
http://www.dadburn.com/linuxscreenshots … tprob1.png
http://www.dadburn.com/linuxscreenshots … tprob2.png
As you can see, the fonts used for the controls is super tiny. As can be seen from the second example, the font can be configured in the editing portion through the applications. But the controls themselves remain too small.
When I log into the SAME account, but use Cinnamon, the fonts are fine. Reference:
http://www.dadburn.com/linuxscreenshots … tprob3.png
http://www.dadburn.com/linuxscreenshots … tprob4.png
So the only difference in these screenshots are the fonts. And the only difference is that I am using Cinnamon vs OpenBox. I;ve searched Google and the Wiki and the Forums, but I'm either not using the proper search terms or just overlooking the results. Can anyone point me in the right direction.
Also, I am using the fontconfig-infinality stuff. I don't think that matters and again, Cinnamon works and OpenBox has too small a font. And the problem is only on Java apps, not other things.
Thanks in advance.

I've done more digging. I have this in my /etc/profile:
export _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dswing.systemlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel -Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel -Dswing.aatext=true -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on'
Well, this screws up gdx-setup (the first screenshot). If I only use
export _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dswing.aatext=true -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on'
Then gdx-setup looks fine. Netbeans was still messed up either way. I did find that it seems Netbeans has issues with the GTK+ look and feel on non-GTK platforms. So I reverted NetBeans to the (ugly) Metal theme and now the fonts are bigger.
So I am marking this as solved. It seems that the GTK+ look and feel is just not happy on non-GTK+ platforms. I guess that makes sense in a way.

(Solved) Openbox font too small

I've removed gnome and installed openbox, and now my fonts are too small. My firefox webpage fonts are fine, tint2 fonts are ok as well. But I think some leftover gnome setting is affecting it. I deleted .gnome2, but it's not working. What should I do?
EDIT: Fixed! Didn't think of Xorg at first

Does anybody know how to solve this font problem?

Hello everyone,
I have had this font problem for weeks now and I can't seem to get it solved. There are a number of fonts that won't load properly in Illustrator, PS, and InDesign. They are loaded in the system, but refuse to show up in the list. I've installed them in the home directory/library/fonts. These are commercial opentype fonts and one homemade opentype font. Sometimes the font that I created will appear, other times it does not, but many other fonts refuse to show up in the font display lists of these 3 software packages.
I've cleared the font caches with FontNuke, everything looks like it should work properly, but it does not. Also, with Font Book, I've resolved any duplicate font problems. Does anybody know how to solve this problem? Is this a known CS4 bug?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm using the latest Mac Mini and CS4 software.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
How do I check if the fonts have the correct creator and so on?
Anyway, I've spent the better part of today validating and removing suspect
fonts. Why does the right click choice for resolve duplicates and the
validate font behave completely differently in Font Book? I discovered that
when this is investigated further with the validate font command, I found I
had a massive amount of duplicates that according to font book cause minor
errors. I thought that would have been sorted out with the resolve duplicate
command, instead I ended up check marking and manually removing the fonts
that had minor errors.
I still have many commercial fonts plus my own font not showing up in
Illustrator or PhotoShop. If I copy and paste the font directly into
InDesign's font folder, my font shows up. I also tried removing my font to
see if this would fix any of the other problems. It doesn't. I did type in
my font name in the console dialog box and this message is displayed for
this font as well as mine and many others.
10-04-06 5:21:09 PM Font Book[12940] ##### ERROR: The font system thinks
the font
file://localhost/Library/Fonts/Voluta%20Script%20Pro/VolutaScriptPro-Regular.otf
is active, but the file no longer exists!
Then I went back to font book to check to see if it is there and it is
enabled. For my font the caution triangle appears with the multiple copies
of the font is installed. Resolving duplicates doesn't solve this problem.
Any ideas of how to fix this problem?
Thanks

[SEMI-SOLVED] MonoDevelop fonts are invisible in XMonad

A MonoDevelop project open in the XMonad tiling window manager:
The same MonoDevelop project is shown, but this time I opened it in the MATE Desktop Environment:
Any idea what might be causing the fonts to “disappear” in XMonad?
Note that the text is actually there in XMonad: in MonoDevelop’s editor, I can do CTRL+A CTRL+C and then paste in e.g. LeafPad and see that the text does exist, it is just misteriously invisible.
I would really like to solve this since I want to use XMonad as my everyday environment.

Well this issue is semi-solved, but honestly I do not know what fixed it.
I wish I had a specific fix to share in case someone else encouters the same issue, but for the record here is what I tried, in no particular order.
(The two last points probably have nothing to do with the problem I was having, as they relate to how Java programs behave in tiling WM, but as I said, I have no clue what fixed my invisible fonts in MonoDevelop (in XMonad), so I’ll just dump everything I did in that list…) :
installed ttf-ms-fonts from the AUR
installed a few themes from the AUR, i.e. adwaita-x-dark-and-light-theme and a few others
removed `wmname LG3D' from my `~/.xinitrc'
uncommented export _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1 in `/etc/profile.d/jre.sh'
I think that’s it.
P.S. : however, fonts are still invisible on some tabs in MonoDevelop, but that problem happens in both XMonad and MATE, so I marked this as [SEMI-SOLVED]. Any input appreciated !

Font corruption in virtual consoles

Not sure where to put this, so it goes here.
I am currently a victim of font/screen corruption in the virtual consoles (probably not X, not sure, haven't installed a WM/DE yet). I am using a 1680x1050 resolution (8bit color) with the vesafb driver for the framebuffer (have installed proprietary nvidia drivers for X). This is my native resolution, and my attempt to get a decent console environment without KMS, which the proprietary nvidia drivers do not allow (or so I have read). This works fine, the problem arises when I choose a large font to compensate for the larger resolution.
Most fonts above 16px seem to cause corruption. I really like the Terminus font (ter-120b in particular), but it causes corruption. If I go down to ter-116b, it works fine. For some reason, ter-132b works fine too, guess it's got something to do with 16px+16px=32px. This is too large, though, so I can't use it. I have also tried other fonts than Terminus (One called sun12x22 (or sth like that), for example) with the same results. All fonts greater than 16px seem to cause corruption (unless they are as large as 32px). Note that the ter-XXXn fonts (e.g. ter-120n) also cause corruption.
When I say "corruption" I mean pixels not being redrawn properly, "left-over" pixels. It is easily reproducible by typing something in the terminal, moving the cursor a few characters back (1 or more), and pressing the "delete" button to delete the character to the right of the cursor. The character is not properly deleted on screen, some of the pixels are left. Note that this happens in editors like nano/vim as well.
I have tried different resolutions and framebuffer settings (ywrap, redraw, mtrr and what not), but have narrowed it down to a font problem as corruption occurs even with default settings/resolution.
Any suggestions? Know what causes this? Workarounds/fixes?
In worst case I'll just down the resolution until a 16px font is okay, but it would be a shame not to get the native resolution.
EDIT: Oh, and my GPU is a nvidia GTX260 (the 216 core version)

Font corruption and Adobe GoLive CS2 V 8.0

After 10.6.7 upgrade via Combo (Safe mode; DW; RP etc) , Camino & Chrome crashed. (Seamonkey, iCab, Omniweb, Safari & Opera did not) This was due to a corrupted Font, fixed via FontBook.
Being somewhat non-Font orientated my simple websites displayed Apple Chancery on my new iPad but displayed 'cursive' on wife's 10.6.6 which my iMac (10.6.6) also used to display.(??)
On 10.6.7 all my sites displayed Apple Chancery on 10.6.7 ... fixed by changing Fonts.
Adobe GoLive CS2 8.0.1 pretended to upload 'changed' files but never did! I had to 'delete-drag-drop' or use Transmit to upload changed files?
I duplicated some of these files only to find CS2 never uploaded the changed files!!
Does 10.6.7 break Adobe GoLIve 8.0.1??
In 10.6.6 I had some embedded MP3 files and 10.6.6 played these no problem. 10.6.7 will not play them from the website but plays them locally?
I tried all sorts of methods including javascript but 10.6.7 would not play them even after booting Paralells and IE8/9?
As I use a free ISP (ByetHost) to check my sites I transferred one to my homesite with the same result?
I am of the opinion that 10.6.7 breaks GoLive CS2 (Please! Not Dreamweaver!!)
I have a 10.6.6 SuperDooper 10.6.6 to go back to but worry what 'Lion' will bring??
Anyone else with similar problems afte upgrade to 10.6.7??

Thanks, R C-R, I am aware of the Font dependency on platforms but wondered why it suddenly reverted to the 'correct' font after installing 10.6.7. My previous OS upgrades didn't do this so I assumed 10.6.7 showed the 'true state' whereas previous upgrades didn't.
I checked my F/W backup of 10.6.6 and found 2 Fonts that were inadvisable to use so this is where Camino/Chrome crashed due to these Fonts. I consider it an 'Installation' problem as it never happened before.
The GoLive problem was of my doing and is now sorted.
However, part of this GolIve problem was found to be related to embedding MP3 in web pages and I assumed it was the install of 10.6.7 that activated this. I now believe it was either iTunes 10 or Safari 5 (10.6.7 installs Safari 5??) or both.
I shall close this thread and continue on http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2454051&start=75&tstart=0
Thanks

Fonts corrupted

Fonts are embeded in Illustrator CS4,but afer conveting through indesign to PDF. Fonts are showing jung format. Plese check and advice

Are you using a Mac? You might need to clean your font caches. Do a google search for font cache cleaner. Can you select your type and go to Type> Create outlines? If so, that would be one way to make it work, although it won't solve your issue. Are you saving your Illustrator file as an .eps? Try .ai or .pdf instead.
On the PDF you have exported from InDesign, when you view it in Acrobat and go to File> Properties, what does it say under fonts?

No other theme have any issue.
Can anyone help me in solving this ?

I have "Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator HD".
I don't have flash video player running. This issue is consistent even without running anything else.
And It is not visible in kde application or with other gtk themes.
It comes only with oxygen-gtk, with kde desktop effects activated, only in gtk applications, only for text in pop-up menus.
Even other texts in those application are normal.
Is anybody else facing same issue in this combination ?
