Not sure about Gnome, but for KDE 3.0.2 on 7.3, check /etc/X11/qtrc for "useXFT=false" and change to true. There's some crashing with Xfree4.1.0 and QT3.0.4(5?) where that was disabled. I have long ago upgraded X to 4.2.0, and with this fix AA fonts are working.

I haven't seen anti-aliased fonts in KDE3 since SuSE started dictating that us 7.3 users shouldn't have them rather than letting us turn them on/off ourselves the old-fashioned Control Panel way.

I have changed that line to True. I've got "Use anti-aliased fonts" marked in the control panel. I've got all my fonts set to be fonts that can be anti-aliased, such as Arial. (And yes, I have Arial ttf installed. ;-)

Still, I get jagged nasty fonts in everything KDE-related, including the desktop.

Now, if SuSE would just stop dictating this in their QT3 RPMs for us and go back to the way QT3 packages were a few months ago, we wouldn't have this problem.

Yes, I'm aware of the X 4.1 problem. The solution? Let them upgrade! Don't cut out anti-aliasing for every 7.3 user!

Now, you're seeing anti-aliased fonts. I tried what you said you did over-and-over with each QT3 upgrade and still nothing. You must have done something else as well?

Joe, 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 :-) Marcel
