Hi, The patched QT is available as package "qt_experimental." The default "qt" package is not patched with AA stuff. Here is a excerpt from a mail by Lenz which explains the steps needed to get AA working: <quote> No, you don't. All you need is an XFree86 4 server, that actually supports the RENDER extensions - you can check it like this: $ xdpyinfo | grep RENDER RENDER 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 KDE. Enjoy! Now all KDE2 apps should use AA fonts (check with xmag). If 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 This looks much better on Laptop screens because it is actually using the singel RGB subpixel for antialiasing (similar to Microsoft's ClearType) </quotw> Cheers, -- Nadeem Hasan nhasan@nadmm.com http://www.nadmm.com/ Ben Rosenberg wrote:
The answer is..I have ttfonts on my system..and all the KDE2 apps are really liking them. I just add fonts to my tt directory and run SuSEconfig. Being that Kurt is a SuSE employee ..his patches were available to them so they patched QT already which is the case as I understand it.
