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

Greetings
