reboot, font problems fixed right?
BTW, rebooting KDE seems faster, or is it just my imagination?
Also, how do I keep the virtual keyboard from popping up on reboot? I couldn't find the setting but I'm sure it's there, yes?

How to fix, I need some more confirmations please let me know if this fixes you, please reboot and start KDE a few times to verify.
open xterm
sudo su -
mv /etc/profile /etc/profile-kde
mv /etc/profile-orig /etc/profile
reboot, font problems fixed right?

FWIW, I seem to have fixed my fonts simply by changing to the Nokia Sans settings in the font settings in KDE. I have turned it on and off and gotten in and out of KDE a couple of times since and those funny g(s) with part of the top missing are gone.

2) open xterm
3) type 3 lines of text - starting with "sudo su". Type them EXACTLY as you see them. Press return after each line.
4) reboot and see if your fonts are fixed.

Ok, so I have osso-xterm installed on my n810 inside os2008. Will that work for xterm? I will try the font fix, but I want to spell it out below, and let me know if this is correct. According to Penguibait's instructions I type exactly what I see [actions in brackets]:
sudo[space]su[space]-[enter]
mv[space]/etc/profile[space]/etc/profile-kde[enter]
mv[space]/etc/profile-orig[space]/etc/profile[enter]
reboot, font problems fixed right?
Is this correct? Thanks for the advice, and patience

All times are GMT. The time now is 23:41.
P.S. - A combination of your KDE and the vpnc software has allowed me to completely do away with lugging around my work laptop everywhere I go. (I am a WebLogic and LDAP administrator for a Fortune 250 company and am on call 24/7/365)
Being on call so much actually hampered my freedom having to always haul around my laptop "just in case."
KDE and vpnc has officially changed my life. I now carry just the n800 and have already successfully resolved multiple problems with just a cell phone and my n800.
I can't thank you enough. A donation will head your way.
