Hi everyone,
  This is a bit Off-Topic, but it does interfere with the TrueType fonts I need to
get AA working in KDE, so...

  I have a weird TrueType font problem. When I had SuSE 6.1 installed, I used a
nice TT server called xfsft - everything was happy and good in the world of
TrueType. However, when I went to 6.4, xfstt (notice: this is a different server
than the one I used) seemed to do something odd with the fonts. For instance, if I
take "courier" (the non-TT one), and open up a Konqueror window, text boxes that
use this font are about the same size as those in Windows.
  However, when I switch to a TrueType font, the boxes get "taller" enough to
throw off a good looking page's design. What seems to be happening, is that while
the font is only, say 11 pt., the textbox is sized for a 13 or 14 pt. font. Same
seems to be true in any other app I try TT's with. So, I was hopeful that this
would work better in 7.1 with XFree86 4.02 - HOWEVER THE SAME THING HAPPENS. This
is very unfortunate, as it makes it difficult to use TT fonts if I want the pages
to look decent.

  Any ideas?

  Thanks,
       Tim
