Support knowledgebase (wessels_konsole)
Applies to

SuSE Linux: Version 7.3

Symptom

The fonts in the KDE konsole are unreadable.

Cause

The package freetype2 has been compiled without the so-called byte code interpreter function to prevent any infringement of patent rights.

Solution

Use YOU (YaST Online Update) to update the package from our FTP server:


ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.3/gra1/freetype2-2.0.4-52.i386.rpm

or install it via rpm -Uvh PACKAGE-NAME.
