+ Qt4 uses the Xrender X11 extension for antialiased fonts. This
+ extension was added to Xsun starting from the Solaris 10 8/07
+ release, but it is not activated by default. To activate it, you
+ must issue (as root) the following command:
+ svccfg -s svc:/application/x11/x11-server setprop
options/server_args=+xrender
+ and then restart the X server.

+ There is a problem with the fontconfig library shipped with
+ Solaris 10 8/07 causing a seg-fault when it is used by Qt4.
+ Until this is fixed, a workaround is replacing the shared library
+ /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1 with a copy from a previous release or
+ installing a new version of fontconfig from http://www.sunfreeware.com/
+
+ On Solaris, the default fontconfig configuration gives preference
+ to bitmap fonts at (not so small) sizes. As bitmapped fonts are not
+ antialiased, you may prefer changing this configuration. This may be
+ done by adding the following stanza
+
+ <match target="pattern">
+ <edit name="prefer_bitmap">
+ <bool>false</bool>
+ </edit>
+ </match>
+
+ to either ~/.fonts.conf (for a per-user change) or /etc/fonts/local.conf
+ (for a global system change). The stanza should be added between the
+ <fontconfig> and </fontconfig> tags. If neither ~/.fonts.conf nor
+ /etc/fonts/local.conf exist, you can create them with the following
+ content:
+
+ <?xml version="1.0"?>
+ <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
+ <fontconfig>
+ <match target="pattern">
+ <edit name="prefer_bitmap">
+ <bool>false</bool>
