I changed those fonts on my Ubuntu system using the qt4 configuration utility: qtconfig-qt4 which is in the package qt4-qtconfig (I assume that is in Debian as well).

Re: Lyx 1.5.0 beta1 screen fonts antialiasing?
Hi, Thank you all for the informative replies. After a day of testing and googling, I have finally found the cause of this problem and the solution. The problem is actually quite deep: It is not in LyX, it is not in Qt4, it is because I used a VNC session to use LyX 1.5 and my VNC server (RealVNC) doesn't support the X RENDER extension, which Qt4 uses to display anti-aliased fonts. (Instead, Qt3 doesn't use RENDER for the fonts so Lyx 1.4 displays ok.) Instead of waiting for the next version of RealVNC, I switched to xf4vnc and this problem is solved. The speed now is a little slower, though. best, Sam On 2/28/07, Helge Hafting [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Shu Li wrote: Hi, I am using Red Hat EL4, Qt 4.2.2 and Lyx 1.5.0 beta1.
