maybe the kde X server or font server is set to 100 dpi while the one on slackware is set to 75 dpi? have a look in your /etc/X11/XF86config and /etc/X11/xfs/config the latter only if you're using a stand-alone font server (if true, you have sth. like >>FontPath "tcp/localhost:7100"<< in XF86config.

Another point: maybe trutype is not enabled (module freetype must be loaded?) and X uses a non-scalable helvetica.
Just compare those files with your slackware, would be nice if you'd share your experiences!


don't know too much about it, hope I could help!

yours,

I'm running X 4.0.2 and KDE 2.1 on slack and debian. Truetype fonts are
recognized w/o a problem. Default installation gives me the following
screens:

http://www.winwood.net/~tmd/deb_kde.gif
http://www.winwood.net/~tmd/slack_kde.gif

fonts are _the same_ (helvetica and courier), however they look totally
different on both distros. how come? how can i make deb's KDE look the
same? :)

You seem to have anti-aliasing activated on Debian, which why it looks much better, whereas it is not used on Slackware. There is, on kcontrol, an option to activate/disactivate the use of AA. I think it is in the "Style" module, but I'm not sure (I don't have it here).


Moreover you are using different point sizes in the general font of KDE.


not really.. they size is the same.

what i have in deb is AA? so THAT's what it is.. and i've been trying to figure 
out how enable it :)
