Re: [expert] So...what is the verdict on KDE 2.1.1
Well, can't help you too much there. I didn't try to get aa fonts working with 2.1 and when I went to test my adobe fonts for you, I don't seem to have any listed for the file manager or web browser. So I don't know if that's normal or mine is just missing (oops, a bug?), but I didn't use them anyway. I do have a couple of windows fonts that I am using presently that look good. Maybe someone else will chime in with more helpful info. I found an article on that issue (limited fixed fonts) back when I was troubleshooting mine, but I didn't bookmard it. I had been searching google for linux & aa fonts when I ran across it. -s On Monday 09 April 2001 12:57 pm, you wrote: > Well, I have 2.1 and aa fonts but the problem is that adobe fonts are > royally screwed in rendering.

Re: [expert] So...what is the verdict on KDE 2.1.1
Well, I have 2.1 and aa fonts but the problem is that adobe fonts are royally screwed in rendering. Windows fonts, and any fonts except Adobe MM fonts are real nice. The ONLY fixed font available/allowed is an adobe font which doesn't display well at all. Like all adobe fonts under QT 2.3.0 aa, the fonts shift upwards, screwing up alignment in any browser window that includes any fixed fonts mixed with other fonts. It also makes things like web searches a pain because the text entered in the query window, say in Google, is displaced upward and partially covered/hidden by the upper limit of the text entry box. If 2.1.1 somehow fixes this problem then that alone would be enough to get me to upgrade.

Re: [expert] So...what is the verdict on KDE 2.1.1
For me, I don't see much difference except for the aa fonts, which in itself worth it to me. But I don't see/experience too many bugs, but I didn't find too many before with 2.1. So if you're coming from 2.0 or 2.01, do it. If you're coming from 2.1, the only advantage is aa fonts (and its a little work to get them to show up).

[expert] So...what is the verdict on KDE 2.1.1
For those who have upgraded to KDE 2.1.1, what is the general verdict? Does it fix more than it breaks or does it break more than it fixes? Are any new problems well offset by improvements? I have all the rpms but am still hesitant to install them having read a number of posts here and there about problems. -- Against stupidity, the gods themselves contend in vain.
