What Controls "use Thick Fonts"

[jepjepjep]

Okay, I've searched all over the net and these forums, but I can't seem to find what controls the "use thick fonts" checkbox in the Appearance Settings.  For some reason, my Launcher icons always use thick fonts no matter if the "use thick fonts" checkbox is checked or not.  Do I have some configuration file mucked up?

I'm running default sharp rom on a C3100 with tetsu's kernel.  My fonts are helvetica.  If I move all of the Helvetica fonts out of the /home/QtPalmtop/lib/fonts directory (into .helvitica_backup for example), the system will default to Verdana (I've installed the unicodefonts-verdana package from Meanie's site) but it still only shows bold on the desktop no matter if I check the "thick fonts" box or not.  

Any ideas??

Can someone post their original /home/QtPalmtop/lib/fonts/fontdir file?

Thx.

On my C3100 running Cacko lite 1.23
/home/QtPalmtop/lib/fonts/fontdir
is a symlink to here: (the actual file is here)
/usr/QtPalmtop.rom/lib/fonts/fontdir

I have the same results as you have when selecting/deselecting the "use thick fonts" checkbox.
My icon fonts are always thick. (They look like "Bold")

Here's the file anyway, I zipped it up to post here on the forum.

Thanks,  Jon.  At least I'm not the only one having this problem.

have you tried to revert back to the default font, ie lcfont?

Yes, I've tried removing all the helveticas, which reverts to lcfont, but the "use thick fonts" still doesn't work.  What's interesting though, is that if I revert the local back to ja (instead of en) then the thick fonts checkbox works.
