... I had the same problem. Then I fixed it by changing the file /home/YourHome/.gconf/desktop/gnome/font_rendering/%gconf.xml
from:

to: <gconf> <entry muser="armin" mtime="1090837740" type="string" name="antialiasing" > <stringvalue>grayscale</stringvalue> </entry> <entry muser="armin" mtime="1090837740" type="string" name="hinting" > <stringvalue>medium</stringvalue> </entry> <entry muser="armin" mtime="1090837778" value="96" type="float" name="dpi" /> </gconf>
I added the entry where I set the dpi value to 96 ...
That seemed to work, at first. However, it appears to depend on the gnome-settings-daemon running. That daemon messes up my other KDE settings. Has anybody found a reliable way to have readable fonts on GTK applications running under KDE without messing up KDE's settings? Thanks, -Robert Dick-
