There are serious problems with fonts in LM8.0. This is *very* noticeable in
KDE for instance. The optimisations they used in compiling libtype1.a screwed
up alot of things, for instance. To fix your problem check out what I already
have, and if you have more specific questions, re: me.

*must* read
http://www.mandrakeuser.org/ check out the article "Fixing
ugly fonts in
KDE"
This should fix all your problems and then some. Note that one of the only
things that window$ is good for is true type fonts. Use Micro$oft fonts
religiously since they look great. Microsoft was always concerned about the
look of their os and invested countless $$$ in TTFs. Grab Arial, Times new
roman, and courier and install them like the FDU link at the top says, and
KDE will look like a dream. If you want a screenshot, e-mail me to see the
difference.
PS - I still haven't figured out anti-aliasing and it still dosen't work yet
for me. I'm working on it.
