While XF 4.0.2 supports AA, the applications have to be modified in order
to take advantage of it, it is not automatic. Since KDE is QT based, by
installing a version of QT that supports these X11 extensions, all KDE
applications start displaying AA fonts.

I do NOT understand why you compiled anything. I'm sitting right here looking at the Outside of my SuSE 7.1 Professional and #2 of 8 things listed inside the little hard cover is "Xfree86 tm 4.0.2 Font anti aliasing" Which absolutely HAS to mean that's in installed with RPMs that /come on these CDs/, or else it would be a lie to put that on the outside of the box.
In fact, because the outside of the box says that, I'd assume it's that way by default. So what's going on here that you guys are having to fiddle around at all? Is the AA not set up by default? I made a test HTML page (web fonts have always been the worst) and it looked much better then times past, but I was on a test box with a horrible little monitor so maybe it was just blured.
Can someone from SuSE please answer why "Font anti aliasing" is on the outside of the box if we have to compile it ourselves, and if we don't need to, please explain how we can get it working?
TIA
