I currently have QT_XFT=1 in my .bash_profile, .xinitrc, and /etc/env.d/90qt. I am getting ready to try /etc/env.d/90kde21. As Viktor mentions, if I open an konsole and type "echo $QT_XFT", it says that it is set to 1. And, sure enough, if I then run konqueror, it has the AA fonts. If I use the icon on the panel, however, the fonts are not AA. I think this points pretty surely to the fact that KDE subprocesses are not getting the right environment. Maybe modifying 90kde21 will fix the problem. Chad P.S. This is my first post, so here is my obligatory compliment: The distribution is really shaping up. Great work, guys!
