There were no FontPath specifications in the "Files" section, I added
all the folders from a "locate fonts". Then on restarting X and going
back to Appearance -> Fonts, and change all the existing "Arial" entries
to something else, and reapplying a Style and Window Decoration
options. Konqueror has picked up those changes, konsole configured
separately. Looking good now, thanks!
Cheers,
Roger

Choose a font and size thereof which is more to your liking.
Note that the MS Vista font called Calibri caused my X-server to crash.

I have a fresh AMD64 Gutsy install that hasn't gone too smoothly. The
key annoyance that I'm stumped about is the aweful way fonts are
rendered - in certain places only. If I go to System Settings, Monitor

1440x900 (correct for this LCD monitor), the graphics card is detected
as NVIDIA GeForce 6, driver nv. Earlier I found that I had to download
and install the latest nvidia driver NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-100.14.19-pkg2
in order to get X to start. I'm not certain which driver I am now
using, whether this is the nv driver, or the NVIDIA one (I'm still
fairly confused about drivers in linux). In Appearance -> Fonts I have
anti-aliasing turned on and have tried various settings in there to
improve things without success.
Fonts in this email composition window appear OK, menus in Thunderbird
are OK, but basically any KDE related fonts (window title bars, K menu,
konqueror, konsole) all look terrible.
Can anyone suggest where I have gone wrong and what I need to do?
