Thanks Dan,

I will try your ideas as soon as I get home.

As to some other details of my setup:

I have XF864.1, I guess I use the nv driver since I have a RIVA TNT2 M64.
(I do not use the binary only drivers from NVIDIA)

Other than that pretty much everything is stock Gentoo_RC5 from the iso.
(inluding QT, KDE, X and all the rest)

I have not compiled any one of them by myself. (Installed with --usepkg)
I got truetype fonts installed (the MS ones - arial times MS etc.)
I use the XftConfig which I found in the truetype directory.

I have set arial font in kcontrol for almost everything.

I let you know how the evironment troubles evolve...

Viktor

I have a RivaTNT2-M64 too :-) coincidence? Anyway I use the nvidia binary 
drivers, but I've tried the nv driver and there was no AA trouble. Still, you 
might want to experiment - try the nvidia driver and see if AA works then. 
Just another idea.

Is any one using a 3Dfx card with gentoo yet ?

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

[Sebastian Werner]

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
