I have been pulling out my hair trying to get this to work correctly and I dunno what the heck is wrong. I'm hoping someone can help.
I am running KDE 3.0 and have anti-aliased fonts turned on. They render very nice and I am pleased with that. However, I have noticed that when I go to certain web pages (for example http://www.mandrakeforum.com) in Konqueror, the font is not anti-aliased. The problem stems from the Helvetica font in XFree86-75dpi-fonts. A lot of web sites specify Helvetica as the font to use. So Mandrake works fine - it listens to the web page. Problem is, I want the page to be rendered with anti-aliased fonts. I have modified ad nauseum my /etc/X11/XftConfig file to make an alias that matches any Helvetica font and instead uses Arial but it does not work. If I remove the XFree86-75dpi-fonts package, www.mandrakeforum.com renders the way I want it to. But then all the other non-KDE fonts look REAL ugly. I have tried to remove all instances of Helvetica using drakfont but that doesn't work either. So, can anyone tell me how to make this work properly? -Chris
