[gentoo-dev] AA and KDE in gentoo

[gentoo-dev] AA and KDE in gentoo

[Viktor Lakics]

I know this is not relly gentoo specific, but if anyone have an idea I would
appreciate it. (sorry for posting this here, bu I generally find that still
there is too much confusion and distribution specific problems with AA in
linux)

I got Anti-aliased fonts working with KDE in gentoo linux. I have too problems
to be solved.

I only have AA fonts when I set QT_XFT=1 in an xterm, and start an application
from that xterm. How can I set QT_XFT before starting KDE to have AA
everywhere in KDE? What config file do I have to edit?

The second question: I love AA, but I absolutely need konsole with the "linux"
console font (not AA-ed). Konsole looks crap when I use AA-ed fonts. Is there
any way to have a specific app started with non AA-d fonts from an AA-ed
environment?


Thanks in advance, and again sorry for bugging the list with this
non-development question...

Cheers Viktor

I can answer the first question. Edit ~/.xinitrc, and make it say something like:

QT_XFT=1
startkde

Hope that helps.

Maybe something like this will work? Create a script that looks like 
something this (if QT_XFT should be 0 if AA is off):

------------------

#!/bin/sh

QT_XFT=0
konsole

------------------

Change all shortcuts that point straight to konsole to that script... That 
should run konsole without AA.
