I am running now with AA & KDE and it is magnificent. I did not think
Linux can look so good. I created a small test document in KWord and it
looks great (the text that is).

Hi LenZ,
$ xdpyinfo | grep RENDER RENDER
I'll try that later on, right now I'm waiting for the the AT&T@Home guy to come figure out why my internet connection is so bad. <g> Say, it should have the AA extension in it, since that's listed on the SuSE box, right?
Now install your True Type fonts below /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/ and run "SuSEconfig --module fonts". Now install package qt-experimental using YaST (it will replace the original qt library package) and restart
Okay, use the qt-experimental from the KDE CVS?
KDE. Enjoy! Now all KDE2 apps should use AA fonts (check with xmag). If
Wonderful. Thanks for the xmag tip. XFree86's XFT man page said xfedit was AA compatible, but the font was small enought I couldn't tell if the extension was working or not. Thanks.
you use an LC Display, you might want to consider to activate a different RGB rendering algorithm by adding the following line to ~/.Xdefaults:
Xft.rgba: rgb
Great. I'll try that on my laptop, I'm getting ready to shrink my Windows ME partition on it in the next few days...
This looks much better on Laptop screens because it is actually using the singel RGB subpixel for antialiasing (similar to Microsoft's ClearType)
Huh, neat.
BTW: If you do not have any TrueType fonts available, you can suck them from the Microsoft web site by executing "/usr/X11R6/bin/fetchmsttfonts"
Well, I'm pretty good on those (between Corel Photo-Paint and MS Office, I have over 250 fonts in Windows), but I appreciate the tip - it might come in handy some day. By the way, will the fact that I installed the fonts in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Managed cause a problem (I did this so that I could try KFontInstaller)?
Thanks, Tim
