I should note that messed up fonts are also on the login window, which I set up using KControl. No one has ever clarified whether this is xdm or kdm, nor how to differentiate.
If you set it up using kcm it's kdm. The rule of thumb is: if it looks like crap it's xdm, if there's just one line and you enter alternately username and password then it's gdm, if you get a list of user icons it's kdm
I would have tried Xfs a long time ago, but it does not antialias.
hm. I must be mistaken then. I was under the impression that Xfs for a long time was the *only* thing that handled antialiasing.
Huh? I have this in my notes. So you're saying Xfs =does= AA? Or are you thinking of Xft?
No, unless I'm completely out to lunch Xft is the freetype extension to X. All through the 3.x series of X servers you needed xfs to get anti aliasing, unless my memory is going faster than I had hoped. Search the web for "xfs anti aliasing". You'll get a ton of hits.
Well, I guess it doesn't matter much anyway, as this is a K problem.
Or an X problem with handling anti aliased fonts. Does anyone who have this problem have gnome2 installed? That handles AA too. //Anders
