Hi, I've always had problems with fonts in kword (and the other koffice apps). Specifically, the kerning is really bad - letters are squashed together or are too far apart, the spacing is very erratic. This occurs both on-screen and with printouts.
I've done a fair bit of googling and found that most people either have no problem with this or if they do, it's suggested that they are using poor quality fonts which cause the kerning problems. Of course most of these people are running linux, so I don't know if this is a problem specific to FBSD (though I would'nt have thought so). I have no such problem with openoffice - the kerning seems perfect. I've tried adjusting the kde anti-aliasing settings just in case that had any effect, which it didn't. Kword doen't seem to have any kerning options I could adjust. I've tried various different fonts, but seem to have similar results with all of them. Most of my fonts have been copied over from my WinXP partition and are the standard fonts that come with XP & various MS applications, so they should be good quality (that's one thing MS seem to get right). In any case, openoffice has no problem with the fonts. So I'm just wondering if others running kde on FBSD have the same sort of problem. If not, do you have any suggestions for improving the kerning? Cheers, -- Ian GPG Key: http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~imoore/no-spam.asc
