anti-aliasing has nothing do to with eric3 (and you should not find an option to
switch it on in eric3). However, you can use qtconfig to tune the look and
behaviour of all Qt programs. If you don't like the icons, get the latest
snapshot, it has a new icon theme.

Thanks for your feedback Torsten =)
I've checked qtconfig and anti-aliasing is already turned on (which makes sense since I don't have this anti-aliasing problem with any other qt application eg. designer). In fact, the fonts in the menu-bar, tabs, and dialogs in eric3 are perfectly ok too... for some reason it's just the main text editing window/widget in eric3 which seems unable to produce anti-aliased text.
Actually, as I mentioned before, if I switch on "use mono-spaced font" in eric3 then the anti-aliasing magically appears (only for the current file, and only mono-spaced). Something wacky going on there...
I've tried tweaking various bits in qtconfig for the past hour or so, but to no avail. It's definitely not right though -- the text is *really* blocky in the main eric3 text edit widget, and I've seen eric3 on other machines with perfectly normal (ie. smooth-looking) text.
Hmmm, and why is the mono-spaced font ok?
Any other ideas?
Solly
