I'm running KDE 3.1.4 with XFree86 4.1.0-16 on Woody, with anti-aliasing switched on, and although the desktop mostly looks pretty slick, there are still some *really* bad font renditions in some parts of some windows.
For instance, the font used for the words "Did you know ?" in the "Tip Of The Day" dialogs offered by both Konsole and Kate is *awful* - it looks a mess ... utterly uneven and broken. I've put a screen-capture of the Kate Tip-Of-The-Day dialog on my website, at http://www.glimmer.demon.co.uk/kde/kate-lousy-font.png if anyone feels like having a look. Can anyone hazard a possible explanation for this ? Does anyone else see anything better looking in this dialog on their own machines ? (I use a Voodoo 3 graphics card, in case that's relevant, and the 3Dfx Voodoo 3 driver is selected in KXconfig). Cheers, Nick Boyce Bristol, UK
