I didn't have any AntiAliasing variable in kdeglobals. So I added it with =true. I didn't know what section to put it in, so I put it in [general] I then re-started X (startx) I don't use KDM. I tried the capitalization as above and also all lower case. I didn't see any difference. I turned it on and off in control center, re-starting Konqueror each time. Runs fine either way but I don't really see any difference in the fonts.
