So, I've spent this morning with my SuSE 8 CDs and YaST, and YOU and... The upshot is that X and KDE 3 are new again, and now not only OOo but all the other apps are accessing the fonts. Even the window dressing looks better -- or maybe I'm in a better mood. :-)
Afraid it will happen again.
Problem seems to be in the way K =represents= the fonts. They exist, and contain the information, but K's extraction and display of that information is busted. It seems to parse one font and build a cache using only its metrics for all the fonts.
OpenOffice doesn't use either qt or kde. Since I'm not experiencing this problem even though I have the MS fonts installed (thanks Ben) I can't actually test this, but I'd be interested to know if the problem remains if one uses a different window manager, say logging out and starting up gnome or Afterstep instead.
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. //Anders
