Hi,
Why does nobody understand how fonts work? Do you just hope everything is 
right when you install Lnunx and don't touch it anymore? Windows is just 
better in this regard. It has better Unifont support and it is not so 
complicated that nobody on the list knows how fonts work. In KDE I have to 
fight with so many aspects to get it to work. I just want to be able to see 
Japanese and German at the same time. It shouldn't be a big deal. 
Why does antialiasing always mess things up? Konqueror as file manager doesn't 
show the shell with correct fonts anymore unicode is broken. Is that an 
experimental feature? (Why is it included then?)
