One Caveat : XFree86 does not currently support anti-aliased ! font rendering.

Anti-aliasing: Starting with XFree86 4.0.3, XFree86 does now ! support antialiased fonts. As of now, a lot of software does not ! take advantage of it, but Qt (the toolkit for the KDE desktop) does; ! so if you are running this version of XFree86 (or higher), Qt 2.3 ! (or higher) and KDE, all your KDE/Qt applications will use ! anti-aliased fonts. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: dd State-Changed-When: Fri Jun 22 15:01:28 PDT 2001 State-Changed-Why: Committed, thanks! http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=28340 >Unformatted:
