devries Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 Do have aa turned on aa for all sized fonts? In the kde control center, look & feel, fonts if you turn on aa it excludes font size 8-15 (click settings and unceck). If you have a TFT screen turn on subpixel hinting. If you have installed newer/non-default freetype packages you're better of reinstalling. I once spend a week trying to fix my fonts after I installed plfs freetype. Nothing worked.
