Re: Tutorials On Using Anti-Aliased Fonts With KDE

I FINALLY got Anti-Aliased TT fonts to work under KDE - VERY nice!

I have only one question - the "fixed" font keeps getting set back to "adabi" (which was at first the default everything was set to) - this font seems to be used in quite a lot of web-pages, and I would like to choose something more appropriate. Any suggestions?

This is a bug in XFree86, I believe. You'll either have to update to XFree86 CVS or apply a workaround patch to Qt, which I don't have handy but I think Lars posted one on the kde-devel list.

XFree86 4.0.3 is very close to release. Hang in there for a few days.

are you sure?
4.0.2 was said to be "very close" during months.

Where did you get this information from, I'd like to know more about 4.0.3 (esp. if there will be a working G400 with 3D hardware accel., using what Gareth Hughes did the past weeks for DRI project).

You can get Xfree86 4.0.3 now from their ftp site (or better yet, one of their mirors). It is available as a patch to 4.0.2, but I have yet to find the complete source tarball for it.

This is a quick fix. It will not solve the problem, but you will have a fonttype that is readable. In your ~.kde directory, go to share/config/ and open the file kdeglobals in kwrite or something. Edit the fontspart of it, have a look and you'll know what I mean.... You should then change the fonttype "default" to courier, or some other available font of your choice. Don't go back to "look and feel/fonts" in Kcontrol. It will reset your manually chosen font. Then you have to edit kdeglobals once more.... Cheers!Geir K
