If you're on Debian/Unstable, all you should need to do is put set the environment variable QT_XFT=true. The newest KDE and QT have built-in support for anti-aliasing.

I'm using Debian, but I'm using only the testing branch, and apparently I have the wrong XFree packages (even though they are 4.0.2 not 3.3.X). Trying to start an xterm with anti-aliased text gives the error "missing extension RENDER on Display 0.0" or some such.

The KDE and QT packages are correct (QT_XFT is set to 1, not that it helps without the render extension).

Is there any way to get XFree packages with the Render extension enabled without going over to unstable entirely? (I tried compiling XFree from source once but it failed. I have the worst luck compiling software! I can never get KDE to compile either!)

What video card are you using? maybe that's caused if your video driver doesn't support the render extension (for example, the old nvidia closed-source drivers).

I'm using a S3 Savage4, and I had heard that the Savage driver didn't yet support the render extension, so I tried the VESA driver(which does). It didn't work either :-(
