Hi, that's an old problem and it's just partially KDE-specific. Some things have to be right to make this problem go away: - KDE/QT Antialiasing (the setting you described) - /etc/fonts/local.conf shouldn't interfere, look at it - font databases built with fc-cache -f Font support is always on the move (think of LCD displays which need other antialiasing settings than usual monitors) and this will always bring hazards. I think KDE/QT has its own support for antialiasing to make things easier, but this didn't always work out well.
