WRT anti-aliased fonts or TrueType fonts (I only assume that they refer to the same thing),
TTFonts are fonts that are really nice looking on the screen, and when you print them on your printer, look the same. One of the nicest things about TTFonts is that they can be anti-aliased by the XServer, which means that jagged edges on characters (for instance, any diagonally printing characters like k, R, A, etc) are "shadowed" so that the jaggies appear less jagged. You'll see as the font size gets larger, the jaggies are more apparent. This is where AntiAliasing really shines.
it dawned on me from following threads on these topics that the problem might be more fundamental, viz. that there are no such fonts in the specified fonts directories. Switching anti-aliased fonts on in the CC killed my KDE setup. Checking the fonts directory I found the TT directory empty and then proceed to copy files to it from my windows partition and from off my Corel wordperfect CD. Having done so, I attempted the startup KDE and everything was fine.
Yep, no TTFonts = No Anti Aliasing, unfortunately.
