mmm I tried that, I edited ~/.qt/qtrc and added the line enableXft=false. re-booted x server, no change In the URL it suggests enableXft should already be there, my ~/.qt/qtrc did not contain it, it consisted of .. [customColors] 0=-1 1=-1 10=-1 11=-1 12=-1 13=-1 14=-1 15=-1 2=-1 3=-1 4=-1 5=-1 6=-1 7=-1 8=-1 9=-1 I also tried modifying /etc/fonts/local.conf This does not exist in debian I dont realy know enough about fonts or qt. My idea of scrapping the user and re-generating was a "last ditch" affair since I did not get anywhere with these fixes.
