Re: Tutorials On Using Anti-Aliased Fonts With KDE

Hm, not luck here. I compiled Freetype first, then downloaded XFree from cvs, edited host.conf file, compiled XFree (without any errors), then compiled qt-2.3beta1 (I suppose that is also good one) with -xft option, then compiled whole kde 2.1 from tarballs, then added path to my ttf directory in XftConfig file, then deleted fonts directory in /.kde/share and deleted kdefonts file in /.kde/share/config dir, etc.etc. but nothing happens. I don't have antialiased fonts. When I run
xdpyinfo in konsole I don't have RENDER extension there and I get this: XFree86 version: 4.0.99.1. Is it the right version? I downloaded it from XFree cvs (cvs co xc).
I read all tutorials (I also did: export QT_XFT=true in .xinitrc file in my home dir), but nothing helps. I have Matrox Millenium 450 graphic card. Is it card that is problem?

Hi,
I got XFree-4.0.2 binary from Rawhide, alongwith freetype2 , qt2.3.0 which is compiled with xft support. When I try running KDE (or any QT app) after setting QT_XFT=true, I get " Xlib: extension "RENDER" missing on display ":0.0" " , which is true, since I dont' see RENDER from output of xdpyinfo.
Question is how to enable RENDER ? I have a Intel 810e chipset.
Can anyone help me to see clearly :) ?

Parag

The RENDER extension needs the module 'extmod' to be loaded in XF86Config, and FreeType also needs the 'freetype' module. Btw, QT_XFT should normally be set to 0 or 1.
My X display info:

name of display: :0.0
version number: 11.0
vendor string: The XFree86 Project, Inc
vendor release number: 40099001
XFree86 version: 4.0.99.1
...
number of extensions: 30

Trisk, can you please explain how to load "extmod" module? When I add the line Load "extmod" in XF86Config-4 then I can't start X, I get error that it is incorrect. And how do you set QT_XFT to 0 or 1 ?
Thanks.

Yeeeeees, I've solved the problem. Matrox has released the new driver for Matrox Millenium G200, G400 and G450 for XFree 4.0.2. I just installed the new driver and
antialiased fonts are here. Bravo Matrox :::)))

Hey this last step was a bit to fast - i still have the antialiasing problem in my setup - and i havnt found a solloution yet.

ive using a Mandrake 8.0 - KDE with a TNT card.
first of all, my KDE is running fine at this time, but im having a problem compiling a program using Qt (3.0.1) - and it seems to me that im getting the same problem here as you are referring to.

ive downloaded the sources from Trolltechs home page and tried compiling it both with and without support for antialiasing (both occasions it took almost 8 hours to complete, and im not willing to do it all to often.) and i got the same result in both situations)

where am i? what shall i do? - download the XFree kit and recompile it as well?

Before i do, i hope i can get a good advice from someone who have had that problem.

-Tobibobi-
