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

[Sebastian Werner <sebastian@werner-productions.de>]

I have the problem too and use the ati-driver... (rage128)

I have a discussion with one of the kdefont-support freaks.... try to replace 
the line:
  LD_BIND_NOW=true kdeinit +kcminit
to
  kdeinit +kcminit
in the startkde script.

I think this is the new idea to start applications faster... but if i use the 
short version all the fonts are in the dialog... 

I have detected this in a enlightenment session where i have started k-Mail 
which has the fonts in the settings-dialog...

try this, i think it a bug in current version,

hope this helps.

Sebastian
