No fonts in Qt5 apps

[megastallman]

Hi everyone!

After building KDE, I've noticed that all Qt5 apps have no fonts. But Gtk2/3 apps are fine.

I've got the following error trying to run Konsole via Xfce4-terminal:

QFontDatabase: Cannot find font directory /usr/lib/fonts.
Note that Qt no longer ships fonts. Deploy some (from http://dejavu-fonts.org for example) or switch to fontconfig.

Installed most of the fonts I've found, but they reside in /usr/share/fonts , not lib.

sh-4.4# cd /usr/lib
sh-4.4# ln -s /usr/share/fonts .
sh-4.4# konsole
qt.qpa.xcb: xcb_shm_create_segment() failed for size 949760
sh-4.4# konsole
qt.qpa.xcb: xcb_shm_create_segment() failed for size 949760

And I still get a working Konsole with no fonts, so I can't just see what is happening. The same happens with Gwenview and panel.

Thanks in advance!

Maybe something like

PACKAGECONFIG_FONTS = "fontconfig" as in [1]

or

DISTRO_FEATURES += "kde" in your local.conf

helps.

Forgot to mention: For the solution

DISTRO_FEATURES += "kde"

you need a very recent meta-qt5.
