Re: Fonts-fixed
Just wasting bandwith to say that disabling AA fixed all my problems.
no AA enabled option
FYI- I don't have any sort of option for AA in Control Center -> Look & Feel -> Style. The fonts I have are reasonable enough though.

Re: KDE 2.1 + QT 2.3.0 problems
And an extra tip... 6: Modify /etc/X11/XftConfig so that in mentions all your directories with scalable fonts in a 'dir "path"' statement! I have the following list at the top of the file: dir "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1" dir "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType" dir "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/freefont" dir "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/sharefont" dir "/opt/Office51/fonts/type1/" dir "/usr/share/abisuite/fonts/" dir "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/tt_win" (/opt/Office51 is staroffice, and I copied some ttf windows fonts. I believe AA works with both ttf and type1 fonts, so that's why I list them both) --Tim

Re: KDE 2.1 + QT 2.3.0 problems
Thank-you, This tip really worked. Indeed the package freefont contains many fonts which have antialiasing suport, but it seems that one has to add dir "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/freefont" in the file /etc/X11/XftConfig to make them available to KDE. There is somehting strange in that, even without adding this line to XftConfig they were available to X as xlsfonts showed but to no use to KDE.

So there will be non-AA capable fonts available to X apps that are not available to KDE. I think this is the biggest misconception people have with all of this. When AA support is turned on, KDE apps will only see fonts which it can use...ie fonts that support AA. non-KDE apps (xlsfonts for example) are looking at fonts in general and not at which ones are AA capable and which ones are not. The XftConfig file tells the Xft specific bits of X only about Xft fonts. So when something accesses X and says hey...give me a list of Xft (AA) capable fonts X will consult the XftConfig file. When something accesses X and says hey...give me a list of fonts..X will just consult it's normal font list. At least that's how I see the whole thing...and I'm still trying to figure it all out. :) Ivan -- Ivan E.

kde2.1 potato - arts package is broken, asks for uninstalable packages
When I try to apt install the new kde2.1 arts package, it can't because it depends on libmpeg0 which depends on libvorbis0 which doesn't exist in Potato. Yesterday libogg0 also didn't exist. libvorbis0 from woody needs a more recent libc6 than potato's. Can libvorvis be backported to potato, with the necessity of the newest woody libc6?

Am I missing something? Probably a unstable distribution. The AA option in the Styles section will only be there for unstable systems...ie those who installed QT/KDE out of the unstable/sid Debian distro.
