Has anyone experienced strange font changes after installing KDE 3.1.4? Mostly it is that fonts that previously were anti-aliased are not any more, especially in Konqueror, but I also had problems with the message display in KMail which used a much too small font.
Just an update on my font problems. Nothing new actually, I just want to describe what I tried: I removed all the temporary files of kde. I moved /etc/X11/qtrc.rpmnew to /etc/X11/qtrc I even removed .kde in my home directory so I got a new set of defaults. Called SuSEconfig after installing the rpms. But nothing changed What I noticed is that in the font selection of konqueror - where you get the pulldown list of fonts - many fonts were there two times: once without and once with a foundry appended (e.g. "[URW]"). The entries with foundry appended were never antialiased, but the entries without were. In 3.1.3 you get only the fonts without foundry info. Perhaps konqueror prefers the fonts with the foundry info attached, at least for pages with CSS info? Or it is because I installed the true type fonts from microsoft, which are not anti-aliased any more? The effect is very apparent for http://www.spiegel.de: The fonts were anti-aliased with 3.1.3, but aren´t now for me. What causes the tiny font in kmail is another mystery. Well, I go back to 3.1.3 until someone else comes up with a fix for this behaviour. Thank you for your suggestions anyway.
