yes, i have, and infact turning off anti-aliasing fonts makes it worse.  if i 
turn off anti aliasing fonts, the fonts become completely unreadable instead 
of just really small with big blocks underlining accelerator keys.

to recap...

i had a few beers and some friends over last night, so i have had some time 
to cool down, but the problem still persists.  i was pretty upset last night 
because i spent 5 hours trying to fix it when i was planning to get some work 
done on my project.

i reinstalled redhat 7.2 from scratch formatting my harddrive in the process. 
 i startup kde for the first time (as root).  anti aliasing fonts are on by 
default and some of my fonts are ugly (window title bar for example) and 
others are barely readable because they are so small.  kde does not responde 
to me chaning the font size or font in the fonts control panel (why?  why don 
things work they way they should?).  so then i opt to turn off anti aliasing 
fonts.  i uncheck it, then i hit apply and BAM, now every font is unreadable 
(i.e. so small that groups of characters look like a solid striaght line) and 
kde is useless.

what really bothers me about it is that everytime i have installed redhat 7.2 
on this machine or any other machine, i simply start kde for the first time, 
turn off anti aliasing fonts and choose my fonts and all is good.  why is 
this happening now all of a sudden?  how is it possible that  clean installs 
behave differently from one install to the next?

still flabberghasted,
christopher
