I enlarged up to 2000%, the fonts are still nice and smooth

The XFConfig file has fontpath set to "unix/:7100" (there is a comment 
immediately above to the effect that RH6.0 and later use a font server - I'm 
in RH7.1)

I also tried renaming XftConfig out of the way, but no change.

One other effect I just noticed (this is KWord 1.1, KDE2.2.1)

I open a new empty kword document, select times 11pt and type some stuff; the 
characters about 90% of the height of the cursor. When i click the preview 
button, the characters all shrink a bit, to about 66% of the cursor height 
(approx, I mean like two-thirds-ish)
