Odyssey: fonts initializing

So I just installed 4.1 FE two days go over the 'old' 4.1. That meant I also had to reinstall a few things like Odyssey. On every start, Odyssey 1.23 keeps on initializing the fonts. I've had this problem before, when I just received my AONE500 (I believe it's around two years ago now) and the suggestion on here was to remove the fontconfig dir of Odyssey. I've tried that, but that doesn't solve the problem anymore on 4.1 FE. Does anyone have any suggestion on how to solve this on 4.1 FE?

If I remember correctly, deleting font cache (weirdly named file in "Conf/font") solved same problem for me. Note: make backup before deleting anything!

@Vistaus

Which file did you delete?

You need to go to the conf directory in the oddysey prgram directory, and delete the files with very log names, you usually will see twi files one with a .NEW suffix, oddysey somehow fails to replce the old one with the new one, you can fix that by deleting both and starting oddysey again.

@Vistaus

I presume your system time is sane? Like within a few minutes of "now"?

Check that there is no file in fonts: with a silly future date.

@broadblues

You're right, there's some files with a "silly future date". Strange, 'cause my system time is sane (it's exactly the same as on the clocks in my house, my phone, my mum's phone, the clocks in the nearby stores, etc. ). How do I fix this?

@Vistaus

From a shell, type

SetDate

Without the angle brackets ofcourse... this will set the file datestamp to the current system time.

If there a lot of them you can do

SetDate FONTS: all

You probably will still need to run the font setup of oddyssey again, so delete the odyssey conf files as before.

Should be fixed after that.

If not take a hand ful of hair pull hard and utter your favourite obscenity....
