I too have followed the instructions as shown and get the same result as you. I am using XFree86 4.02 from Suse7.1 and also QT 2.2 ( downloaded and compiled ). Im using the nvidia 0.9-7 drivers with kernel 2.42 and i get the RENDER thing with xdpyinfo etc
but i still dont get anti-aliased fonts
I cant think of what else to do.
DONT'T use the NVIDIA drivers, AA will not work with them, use the free drivers for the NVIDIA cards "nv" for X4.0.1
I disagree. I am using the latest NVidia drivers and happily enjoying AA fonts. SuSE 6.4, linux-2.2.17, xf-4.02, kde-2.1, NVidia 0.9-769, and qt-2.3.0.
I had the same problem and switched to the free drivers, AA is working great now.

A tutorial was posted on how to get anti-aliased fonts with KDE 2.1:
http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/tutorials/3093/3/
but this doesn't work for me.
The problem I am seeing is that I loose access to the truetype and Type1 fonts when I follow the instructions in the tutorial. These instructions say to remove the Type1 and truetype font paths from
/etc/X11/XF86Config
and put those paths into
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XftConfig
and then put "export QT_XFT=true" into .xinitrc, presumably to direct qt or X to use XftConfig. I have done all this and all it accomplishes is eliminating the Type1 and truetype fonts.
One thing may not be right. There is another tutorial:
http://trolls.troll.no/~lars/fonts/qt-fonts-HOWTO.html
which states that the library "/usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so.1.0" must link to freetype. It suggests "ldd /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so.1.0" to see if this is true. When I do this, the output diesn't show anything about freetype, so perhaps the binaries on SuSE's web site were not compiled with xft support. Here is the output:
libXrender.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXrender.so.1 (0x4005b000) libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x40060000) libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x4006e000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40151000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)
All the other tests suggested by the two tutorials were positive (for example RENDER is supported).
