Re: hebrew problems with KDE



Could it be the XFS font server?

I disabled it and added those lines to my XF86Config-4 file:

#    FontPath   "unix/:7100" <- this one eliminates the use of XFS
        FontPath        "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled"
        FontPath        "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled"
        FontPath        "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled"
        FontPath        "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo"
        FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/default/winfonts"

I also added In the section "Module":

        Load "freetype"
        Load "type1"

Now - I used mkfontdir inside my winfonts (copied from win XP), and then 
modified all the ISO8859-7 to ISO8859-8 and ISO8859-9 to ISO10646-1 (I know, 
a butt ugly hack, but mkfontdir, nor XFS supports ISO8859-8 or ISO10646-1 
very well)

>From this hack I've seen that the memory usage went down very much (no more 
XFS) and I got lot more fonts.

Hope this helps,
