Hello Solly! Okay, could you maybe upload a screenshot somewhere to give us a better idea of the issue? Who knows, maybe it's just one silly detail that we overlooked. :) Fonts are Just Fine(c) here, so the problem might be on your end. I don't use monospace fonts either, but everything is stll smooth and antialiased and a delight to the eye. Yes it is. If I can venture a blind guess, your problem looks like some font substitution resolving into a bitmap font, which thus doesn't scale and cannot be antialiased. (Bitmap fonts should die. Once I tried to remove them all, leaving only the pure, pristine Type1 and FreeType fonts. XFree refused to start. I hate XFree.) In short... Go into Eric3's preferences and set some known-to-work font as the default. Courier New remains my fav' monospace font; for regular fonts, I use either good old faithful Arial, or Nimbus Sans L. If you're short on vectorial fonts, don't be afraid to install those from Microsoft, they're pretty darn fine. And they don't crash. You can get them off http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/. The Nimbus fonts come with Ghostscript. There, this SHOULD help. I hope. Bye, -- S. _______________________________________________ PyKDE mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mats.imk.fraunhofer.de/mailman/listinfo/pykde
