Hello. I apologize for requesting help on a development list, but I could find no help at [email protected], I find no similar instance of my problem through searching and I'm at my wits' end. I hope that someone here can help me and that I'm not overstepping any bounds. In the event that I have not, I shall detail the problem. If I am in error, just ignore me and I'll go away. :) I recently upgraded to Xfree86 4.3.0 and ever since that upgrade, I've had some very strange problems with a few fonts. I believe they are all truetype fonts. What happens is that, while the correct font is displayed (for instance, Chancery L Ee looks pretty much like Chancery - which works fine for some reason), all lowercase letters are displayed as uppercase and all uppercase letters are displayed as symbols. In other words, a through z (typed) becomes A through Z (displayed) and A through Z (typed) becomes the following set of characters: !"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789: An example of fonts this happens with are: Chancery L Ee, Arial, Bookman L Ee, Century Schoolbook L Ee, Courier New and Gothic L Ee. As hinted at previously, where there are two similar fonts, like Chancery L and Chancery L Ee, the first displays just fine while the second (with the Ee) displays wrong as described. I have found this to be true in any KDE application where those fonts are used, Mozilla and Open Office.org. Therefore, I cannot see where the problem lies if not with Xfree86. I hope someone can help with this, as I'm completely lost at this point. Thank you, Panther
