QT backport to woody is compiled without anti-aliasing (XFT support). * Nick Boyce [Mon, 05 Jan 2004 05:06:13 +0000]: > On Sun, 04 Jan 2004 11:03:33 +0100, Gunter Ohrner wrote: > >By the way, *none* of the fonts in the screenshot is anti-aliased. > Oh ... thanks .. really ? ... confused I am now. > Anti-aliasing is definitely enabled in Kcontrol - see my screenshot of > the relevant part of the Kcontrol dialog : > http://www.glimmer.demon.co.uk/kde/ctlcent-font-spec.png > Maybe it's lying to me :-( Well, you *have* the checkbox enabled, but antialiasing can never get to work because it's simply not available in your version of QT. IMO it all would be a little less confusing if KControl detected this and wouldn't let you choose anti-aliasing if it's not compiled in. * Nick Boyce [Mon, 05 Jan 2004 05:06:15 +0000]: > One weird thing is that if I start a Konsole "Linux console" session, > then I always get this error : > Font '-misc-console-medium-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-160-iso10646-1' > not found. > I don't have the xfonts-konsole package installed, so maybe that's the > cause of this error. Definitely. That font belongs to that package. * Nick Boyce [Mon, 05 Jan 2004 05:06:14 +0000]: > On Sun, 4 Jan 2004 10:57:28 -0600, Bart Dorsey wrote: > >Also make sure you have fontconfig installed, > I don't have a fontconfig command ... isn't that a Sid feature ?

Don't get that confused here: Bitstream seems to be the Foundry of the font, not a type or anything else. type(Bitstream) == type(Adobe) != type(bitmap). -- Adeodato Simó (a.k.a. thibaut) EM: asp16 [ykwim] alu.ua.es | IM: my_dato [jabber.org] | PK: DA6AE621 Proper treatment will cure a cold in seven days, but left to itself, a cold will hang on for a week. -- Darrell Huff
