I have the problem that anti aliasing does not seem to work. See for 
example the font in the attachment.
I already browsed quite a bit on the web but didn't find the solution.

BTW My system is a fresh install of Debian unstable using the Debian 
installer and then selecting Desktop for my installation.
Forgot the attachment


Looks fine to me, but I'm using fluxbox.

?????? Is there something wrong with my question.


Well, yeah.  Like I say, it looks fine to me.  What are you seeing
that makes you think it isn't alright?  I'm not a graphic designer,
nor am I much into the esthetics/esoterics of graphical display.  I can
read it, and it looks better than how Mozilla displays Slashdot text.
So what do you want?
I want it to look really nice. Until last week I was a fedora user and 
always loved the way it renders fonts, but the facts that it's not 
completely community driven and the availability of far less packages 
then Debian started and to bother me. Now I'm a very happy Debian user 
except for the font rendering. To demonstrate the problem better I 
attached three files:
1. debian-lt.png shows a webpage in debian
2. fedora-lt.png shows the same webpage in fedora (way better font 
rendering)
3. fedora-slashdot.png shows slashdot on fedora. As you can see the font 
rendering even on that site really rocks.

Do you see the difference now??

It should be possible to get it like this in Debian as well.
My only problem is how?
Changing the font rendering in gnome-font-properties does not help.
Jaap

BTW I added the luxi ttfs to my debian box to get the same fonts as fedora.
