Are you running KDE with the gtk-qt theme engine? If so, I had a similar problem with fonts no longer being anti-aliased in gaim. I found the solution on this page: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=9714 Basically you need to change your General font setting in the control center. Once you make a change (any change) you can change it back to how you had it originally. Once you restart your gtk applications the fonts should be aliased again. There is no explanation for why this works, but it resolved the issue for me. Hope that helps. > Thanks, > Shaw - Ben -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
