SFS Load and Gimp SFS strange behaviour

#1 Post by darkcity »

Hi

I've been using SFS Load 1.1 with puppy Puppy 5.28 Lucid

i've loaded and unload various SFSs including-

k3b-1.0.5-13.i686+kde3-deps.sfs
Gimp_2.7.3_528.sfs

at the moment I have only Gimp_2.7.3_528.sfs loaded

---

the problem is when I unload Gimp_2.7.3_528.sfs it breaks the
system fonts

many are just squares, some are readable but blocky including Pmenu, titlebars

reloading fixs the problem

---

How can I unload gimp sfs and restore system fonts?

pic attached shows the problem when gimp.sfs is uninstalled

What is the install mode, frugal or full, on hdd or on flash?

Try to type on a terminal:

Code: Select all

# fc-cache -f
BTW, from where have you got the Gimp_2.7.3_528.sfs?

Lucid 528 has a Gimp SFS in Quickpet.
Quickpet->SFS Get tab
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

That is an older version 2.6.1.

I remembered load a big sfs with lots of fonts, I bet this may have messed things up.

thanks for the reply :twisted:

Worked out it was the Gimp 2.7.3 sfs file causing the problem,

can not remember the source so going to try Gimp 2.7.3 from this thread-

It was the gimp 2.7.3 sfs from this thread causing the font problem, so will continue discussion there:

There seems to be a problem when SFS files are compiled. I've also had problems with Java and K3b SFS that break printing due to permission settings.

SFS-jre-1.7.0.01-20111027.sfs
k3b-1.0.5-13.i686+kde3-deps.sfs
