...how do you stop QT from attempting to use anti-aliased fonts on a
display that doesn't support the RENDER extension?
xdpyinfo indicates that RENDER is not available.
Starting any QT/KDE program gives the message
'Xlib: extension "RENDER" missing on display ":0.0".'
QT is attempting to use anti-aliasing, because the fonts appear looking
strangely distorted (imagine using AA fonts but quantising the alpha
channel to on/off only and you get the picture).
Have tried exporting QT_XFT=0, QT_XFT=false and various other
combinations, all without making any difference.
Using qt 2.3.0-3mdk, XFree86-4.0.3-7mdk
