Mandrake 9.1
Kde only.

kword with Helvetica font setting.
The compose window character setting is OK,
but in print preview and the actual printed document the character
spacing is too close.

How to fix ?

Could this have anything to do with it ?

Looks to me like some font setting are not set up correctly ?


No idea how to go about it, can anyone help me,

[root at localhost root]#  xset fp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont/Type1
[root at localhost root]#


[root at localhost root]#  xset fp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont/ttf
xset:  bad font path element (#56), possible causes are:
     Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
     Directory missing fonts.dir
     Incorrect font server address or syntax

I cannot understand this, both ,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont/Type1
and,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont/ttf
have a /fonts.dir for each, so ?

I have set permissions to all users,

so what gives ?

252 fonts found
252 were standard PostScript fonts

I skipped 252 of these fonts because they already
had overriding entries in both fonts.scale and/or Fontmap
(X Windows fonts or Ghostscript fonts respectively).
[root at localhost Type1]#

[root at localhost root]# chkfontpath -a 
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont/Type1
chkfontpath: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont/Type1 already in list

So that seems ok ?

-------------------------------------------------------
29 fonts found
29 were standard PostScript fonts
-------------------------------------------------------
For 1 of these I couldn't figure out which foundry
the font is from.  Thus, these fonts will appear under the
foundry unknown, i.e. X font name -unknown-*.
Please consult the README file to see what this means.

A log of errors is located in the file "type1inst.log"

so that is not good,


[root at localhost Type1]# chkfontpath -a /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1
chkfontpath: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 already in list

ok,  but !!!!

Writing fonts.scale....
  Done.
Writing Fontmap.... Done.
