-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hmm, I do not know wheter Open Office uses freetype2, I think it might have its own AA-code. If this is the case, your problem in KDE might be fixed by recompiling freetype2 with the ttf bytecode interpreter enabled (look on mandrakeforum, there was a topic about that, or in my howto, see below).
For LCD-screens you can try to enable subpixelhinting (or whatever it is called), basically it is AA but with color instead of grey. It is described in the latest versions of the font-deuglification howto and also in my post on http://dot.kde.org/989808269/ (the rgba=bgr stuff) oh and: Guillaume R. :maybe this fixed freetype (patent issues) can be put at PLF as well? hope this helps Danny On Saturday 12 January 2002 16:42, you wrote: > Hello, > > I am using a 14" TFT 1024x768 LCD screen and I am trying out AA fonts for > the first time on a Mandrake system.
