There is no mystery. Antialias is possible _only_ with Type1 and TrueType fonts. So, if you have antialias on, you can use only type1 and truetype fonts in apps what are using antialias. Xft (which provides antialias) is completely different mechanism to give fonts to the apps by X and is not related standard X/xfs methods. regards, Hasso Tepper KDE Estonian Team

sound - sometimes
I am using a kernel sound module for my notebook (cs46xx). I can get the sound to work. But yesterday while playing around I started up KDE (as root) from the command line - I normally use 'kdm'. I was greeted with all kinds of sound effects - startup sounds, clicky sounds, windows open/close sounds I've never heard them before! Under KDM, I don't get these - but I can get some sounds... mostly a modified beep. I tried to log in from the command prompt as "joe user" and the sounds didn't work then either. Only root, only from command line. I have "joe user" added as an audio group member and the rights are set to crw-rw for the sound device. When I boot - syslog has entries about unable to find (I forget exactly the names) files matching /sound/ that came originally from a failed alsa installation that I later purged. I have removed all the alsa files, re-ran update-modutils and checked to see that modules.conf do not reference these files. But they are still being attempted. Side note: Where does kdm get it's PATH from? I've been trying to fix it for days not and all the conventional methods do not work. I turned up the debugging and saw that my PATH does not match /etc/profile or ~/.profile, ~/.xinitrc, /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc How do I fix this so it's using the same path as my /etc/profile?

Re: mosfet liquid anyone?
I dunno about you guys, but I have problems with AA and those nifty transparent styles, both Mosfet Liquid and Mega Gradiant. The menus goes all white when the cursor passes over them. Otherwise they are fine... - David

Indeed. Grabbing the tarball of automake-1.4 and making it in /usr/local sorted problems out for me. Though I don't know if it applies to this problem. When I was trying to install liquid (a lovely, lovely package), the makefiles generated by automake broke the compilation because of 'missing separators'. Cheers Tiarnan __ Do You Yahoo!?

Oops, the file is /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/fonts.alias which on Debian is generated from /etc/X11/fonts/Type1/gsfonts-x11.alias Apparently the fonts.alias files are not used by the font handling mechanisms employed by the RENDER extensions. -- Wolfgang Ratzka

kscd & cddb
I am having a problem writing to my local cddb database from kscd 1.3.2., using the latest packages from unstable. Every time I access the cddb database, I get an error message saying that kscd was unable to write to /var/lib/cddb// .. Ther permissions to /var/lib/cddb/ are currently set to: drwxrwsr-t2 root audio My user is a member of the audio group, so I should be able to write to this directory.. Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Thanks Ivan. thanks for testing it. on a side note, with the current packages (ie..-10 that's in incoming and the kdebase/kdelibs-crypto/base-crypto that I'll be uploading) AA seems to work as well...but I have yet to fully test it.
