Hoi All! (I'm subscribed now. :-)) Finally I managed to get KDE / (AA?) / TT fonts work. Maybe some of you are interested what I did:
every package is the newest (as today) from unstable; the S3 module in X 4.0.2 is very outdated (doesn't even support RENDER), so I got the newest from http://www.probo.com/timr/savage40.html (1min to download + install); I read http://trolls.troll.no/~lars/fonts/qt-fonts-HOWTO.html, unluckily it didn't help much. It has a pointer to http://www.microsoft.com/truetype/fontpack/ from where you can grab some good quality ttf fonts. After 'apt-get install cabextract' I could extract the actual ttf files from the .exe-s ('cabextract *.exe' does the trick). I put them into /home/ignotus/.fonts/ (I don't want to pollute my /usr) and after 'apt-get install fttools' I could run 'mkttfdir' (while in the fonts dir). I set font-path in both /etc/X11/XftConfig and /etc/X11/XF86Config, hmm, I think it might be enough to set it in only one of them (which?). I removed all font servers (xfs, xfs-xtt, xfs-tt), because I decided to use freetype2 (don't ask me why), and I read somewhere that they are incompatible (xfs-tt is for X3, xfs-xtt and freetype2 shouldn't be used together). When I I restarted X, it recognised all the true type fonts, I turned on AA in KDE Control Center, another restart and AA "worked". Why are those quotes? I think there is a bug in s3 module's RENDER, because it behaves very buggy: 95% of the time the fonts aren't visible, but if I moves a window, or switch to console and back, the fonts are fine. If a do something (click on a icon etc) some fonts became invisible again. Did any of you notice this? -- ignotus [[The Metamorphosis LITE]] A man turns into a bug and his family gets annoyed.
