I went to the SuSE Knowledge Base and did a search on "anti-alias 7.3". Please read what's being said about this : http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/mfabian_bytecodeinterpreter.html It explains why and gives you a solution. You could've done that yourself. It's been there since november 20, 2001 :-)
Been there, done that. Followed those instructions to the letter, and guess what? The letters I was following *still* were jagged. Methinks SuSE is flipping their 7.3 users the bird. I had a nice beautiful anti-aliased KDE3.0 setup. Then 3.1 came around and they shut off anti-aliasing in the QT package. Since then, my desktop has looked like shit. And it will apparently remain that way. Until Adrian at SuSE quits the dictating in the QT packages that are released for 7.3 users. I was waiting for 8.1 to do an upgrade, but if this is how previous customers are treated, I'm wondering if it may be time to switch to another distro. I have RedHat and the latest X and KDE installed on my junk computer, and I've never had this anti-aliasing situation with them. And RH isn't even KDE-friendly! This whole situation is the result of Adrian pulling a dictatorship on the QT packages put out by SuSE, just because some morons wouldn't upgrade their X from 4.1 to 4.2. We're all put in this situation because of Adrian. Everyone out there who's a 7.3 user and sick of this anti-aliasing block, be sure to let Adrian know. And here I thought SuSE was KDE-friendly... I've never seen such hostile RPMs. Joe --------------------- I'm too sexy for my desktop. Too sexy for my desktop... ---------------------
