kfontview problem viewing

[Glenn R Williams]

Hello Emanoil,

The funny thing is that the Gnome fontviewer works fine, as well as print a 
sample, as do all other applications (as far as I can see, anyway). It just 
seems to be kfontview  and/or kfontinstaller. It almost sounds like a stray 
config file from any earlier release. 

If it were a server or library problem, wouldn't it show up elsewhere?

Cheers,

Glenn
