xconfig font problems

xconfig font problems

[Daniel.Kirsten]

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
