no, i didn't have to do anything special (just a tick in the KDE Control Center...) Concerning verdana: in IDEA the font looks great as long as it is layed out horizontally. in the vertial tabs (project, structure, etc.) it just isn't displayed at all :-( i can't tell if it is an IDEA or a jdk bug --> i'm tending towards jdk (Sun's 1.3.1_02)
