However, I noticed no difference in font rendition between the SuSE 
qt-2.2.3 as installed from 7.1, a self-cooked qt-2.2.4 I replaced it 
with, and the qt-2.3.0 I built last night and which is running right 
now. Presumably I need to do something with my XFree 4.0.2 configuration 
to enable the Xft extensions. If anyone knows how to do this I'd much 
appreciate it. The absence of such instructions seems to imply that no 
config is necessary, but it doesn't seem to work.

Or are we supposed to rebuild KDE2 against it? I've been thinking I 
might anyway. The KDE2.1 SuSE RPMs from kde.org seem less stable than 
when I build KDE2.1 from source for SuSE 7.0 - and last night I tried 
installing the *SuSE* KDE2.1 RPMs on another machine and found that KDE 
wouldn't start at all (unresolved dependencies).

I've been missing anti-aliased fonts ever since I finally gave up on 
RISC OS. :-)
