I finally got anti-aliased fonts working with XFree4.0.3 (sid) ,KDE 2.1.2 and libqt 2.3 Put sid(unstable) in your sources.list and >apt-get install xfree86-common for XFree4.0.3. I am using kernel 2.4.3 and a ATI rage 128 video card. I had to recompile the kernel with support for AGP , VIA chipset,DRM and rage128 . Set-up XF86Config-4 to Load 'type1' and "freetype" . I had TrueType fonts installed . Set up the font paths in XftConfig. Read this for more tips: http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/tutorials/3093/3/ The KDE desktop can extend the anti-aliased fonts to the applications it launches. And i am really impressed with the Konqueror web browser rendering web pages in aa fonts. In fact its worth doing an >apt-get install task-kde just to get Konqueror and aa fonts. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
