I upgraded one machine from KDE 3.5.3 to 3.5.4 and discovered that some of my defaults got lost. In particular, my fonts both in and outside of KDE became terrible (that is, non KDE apps running under KDE, such as firefox). The list archives suggested setting use anti-aliasing to true (which it already was) and set hinting style to full (it was medium). Setting hinting to full seemed to help a lot.
Before upgrading another machine, I'd like to preserve my other settings as well (e.g. the font names I picked). What files and directories should I save to do so? I'm aware that settings outside of .kde and .kderc are relevant, but I'm not sure exactly which ones. This "preservation" is just for reference. Is there a way to keep the values? If I just copy the old files over the new ones, will that work? Is anyone aware whether the upgrade affects any preferences other than fonts? Is this just a libcairo issue? I wish KDE were not so inclined to blow away customizations when upgrading. Also, perhaps it would make sense for Debian to set the hinting style to full by default.
