QT_XFT gets reset to 0!!
by Karl Garison on Friday 16/Mar/2001, @05:15

I'm running Redhat 6.2 with XFree86 4.02 and an RPM of Qt 2.3.0 built with Xft. xdpyinfo lists RENDER extention.

I have the following line in my .Xclients file:

QT_XFT=true

After I start X and display my enviroment variables, I see that this has been changed to:

QT_XFT=0

What gives? I also checked Preferences -> Look & Feel -> Style, and I did not have an option there to enable anti-aliased fonts.

Ideas????

This bugged me for awhile. First you will want to be sure anti-aliased fonts are working at ALL... while in KDE, open up a console and type QT_XFT=TRUE, then open "designer", which will run as a pure QT app, and if you get TT fonts, you will be golden.

KDE doesn't work because kicker (I beleive) sets QT_XFT=0 everytime one starts KDE. What you need to do is edit .kde/share/config/kcmdisplayrc, and add the following lines (both lines...)

[KDE]
AntiAliasing=true

This will perform the same action as using the non-existant check mark.

Good luck!

Thanks for your help. I assume that it will be obvious if the fonts are drawn anti-aliased then?

I put the lines in .kde/share/config/kcmdisplayrc and it works! Nice. Thanks.
