Hi Alvaro, My preferred way to install fonts is from KDE: Personal Settings | System Administration | Font Installer. Adjust your fonts size, type and anti-aliasing from Personal Settings | Appearance and Themes | Fonts. And **very** important, **do** check your screen X/Y sizes in your xorg.conf file. Take a ruler, measure your screen (X and Y axes in mm), start sax2, edit your monitor properties and put your measured values in there. Save, **test**, open sax2 and check again that the values were kept (pay attention to the "ratio" value too). Finally restart X (CTRL + ALT + BACKSPACE). Having the right values in there can make a **huge** difference. Trust me. As regarding font appearances, I found "MS Outlook Reference Sans Serif" to be the best looking sans serif font out there when used as a screen font (well, tastes may differ). I think you will need an XP workstation with Office 2003 on it to grab that font from (my laptop @ work has that combination) but well worth the effort.

Second problem: Software updater: It is ugly and doesn't work. Is there a way to go back to the nice susewatcher?

Don't know about that.

I see that mono-stuff was added into yast, or sort of. Can I delete the whole mono-thing and downgrade the current alpha-version yast module for package-management to the old, stable and qt-centric one?

Don't know this either but I really doubt you could. We are all on the same boat. Meanwhile use the Online Update from Yast. Hope this helps. Florin --- Alvaro Aguilera <alvaro.aguilera@gmail.com> wrote:

Hello,

after some discussion with myself about installing or not version 10.1, I couldn't resist and finally installed it, now I have some questions that perhaps someone can answer.

My first problem are the fonts, they are just horrible... how can I set the fonts as they were in suse 10? I tried editing the .fonts.conf and adding the "autohint"-thing as someone pointed out, but it didn't show any results. I downloaded the m$ fonts with the script but it doesn't have any effect either... do I have to set the fonts per hand form the kde control center?

Any hints are appreciated.
