Error loading 'kio_fonts'

Wed Oct 27 14:03:59 BST 2004

Hi !

        I need help to fix a issue with my system.
        The problem is I can't browse the fonts installed in my system, 
neither install new new ones.

        As a regular user, when I type "fonts:/" in the konqueror, I go the 
following error message:

An error occurred while loading fonts:/:
Could not start process Unable to create io-slave:
klauncher said: Error loading 'kio_fonts'.

        As a root user, when I type "fonts:/" in a konqueror, I got the 
following:

The process for the fonts protocol died unexpectedly. (in a popup window)

and when I type "fonts:/system" in that root's konqueror browser, I got  (in 
the main window):

An error occurred while loading fonts:/system:
The file or folder /system does not exist.

        I don't understand how the things works here, so I am lost. 
        I appreciate any hints to help me to debug and fix this issue.

        My system is a SuSE 9.1, running KDE 3.3.1, kernel 2.6.5. All system 
is updated by apt (apt dist-upgrade).
