I am a bit confused. I am using SuSE 8.0. It uses AFAIK a patent free ren=
der,=20
which is not perfect, but IMO acceptable. KDE 3.0 enables antit aliasing =
by=20
default, but does not select a True Type font. In KDE 3.1 setup searches =
for=20
true type fonts in the following order ms,luxi (xfree), ghostscript. With=
=20
current distributions and kde3.1, the desktop should start with anti alia=
sed=20
fonts by default. I hope this will solve the problem.

Greetings
