Hello,
I'm typing this in knode, which is currently the best newsreader I know of
for OS X. :-) Unfortunately, the fonts are icky and aliased because Fink's
KDE programs link against the system's libfreetype, which doesn't have
anti-aliasing enabled. (I won't go into the richly-layered irony of Apple
shipping a hobbled font library because of Apple's patents...) Being an
enterprising hacker, I would like to get AA working for my Fink software. I've installed the freetype2-hinting packages but this didn't seem to do
anything. I've tried overwriting /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype* with
AA-enabled versions but that left X11 broken. Can anybody recommend a
solution?

The system freetype does AA just fine.

Actually I figured it out -- I just hadn't turned AA *on* in KDE. Duh. :-/


Now that I've got AA working, I'm going crazy trying to figure out why 80% of the fonts on my system are rendered identically. I don't see anything too unusual in my /etc/fonts.conf file. I know font substitution is supposed to make my life easier, but for the most part it just drives me totally nuts.

Cheers,
