Re: [gentoo-dev] AA and KDE in gentoo - still not solved - anyone uses AA here?

[Dan Armak <danarmak@gentoo.org>]

This sounds really strange. I never had AA problems. This may not be very 
relevant, but what X driver module are you using?

However this shouldn't be relevant at all. Starting from version 2.3.0, qt is 
compiled to use AA by default! Maybe for some reason when you compiled qt 
this broke. Try recompiling qt yourself (not from the ebuild) and make sure 
AA is on (the output of configure will tell you), then point QTDIR to your 
new qt temporarily and start kde.

Other than that, this sounds like possible font trouble. Make sure you have 
TTF fonts installed (for example install the app-text/freefonts and 
app-text/sharefonts gentoo packages). Then in kcontrol, go to the fonts 
dialog and make sure you have these ttf fonts selected (e.g. Verdana). Then 
restart KDE.

As for env. var. settings trouble, make sure your startkde script is modified 
to use --login, then edit /etc/env.d/09qt to include QT_XFT=1.


This is all I can think of. HTH.
