Hmm. I seem to have some font trouble after installing latest update.
I have replaced the 4 nokia system fonts with my own custom font so that the custom font would be used everywhere. Now even if I edit the new font entry in transitions.ini and write my custom font name there, my custom font is not used throughout the whole system. in isolated places some other font is shown (e.g. calendar agenda view and foreca weather widget). Most places the custom font is used though.
This worked fine before the update. Any tips? It seems tht the handling of system fonts has changed a bit too much for my liking or then I have messed up something
EDIT
: I managed to fix this:
- Copied the 4 original Nokia system fonts (nokia sans) back to /usr/share/fonts/nokia/
- Made sure that transisitions.ini was set to use 'Nokia Sans 15'.
- Rebooted
- Replaced the 'Nokia Sans 15' text in transitions.txt with my custom font name (Helvetica Neue LT Com 15'). Note, this font needs to be in one of the font paths (/home/user/.fonts or /usr/share/fonts)
- Replaced the 4 original Nokia system fonts in /usr/share/fonts/nokia with my custom font
- Rebooted and the custom font is again used everywhere in the system
I guess what went wrong was that the new transitions.txt file that came with this CSSU update had a reference to 'Nokia Sans' which wasn't on my system anymore. Then some other font got used instead in selected places. Doing the above was the only way to again get rid of this 'other font' and use my custom font everywhere on my system.
I'll probably need to repeat the above procedure every time there is a new transitions.txt file pushed by a CSSU update since that again will create a new reference to a non-existing Nokia Sans font. But at least now I have a nice how-to on how to fix it
