Hie guys

AA support is in XF4.02 and qt2.3 good
so kde2.1 works fine with these

now you most likely have little number of fonts on your computer

so here are some tips
1- grab fonts on http://www.fontfreak.com (thanks to  David Kempe <dave@solutionsfirst.net> )
2- put them in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType for example
    if you don't have access to root them create a dir like $HOME/TrueType
3- edit /etc/X11/XftConfig or ~/.xftconfig (if you don't have root access)
4- add the following line 
 dir "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType"
  or
  dir "~/TrueType"  (if don't have root access)
5- restart xfs-xtt
    /etc/init.d/xfs-xtt restart (sorry you must be root)

Note that you don't have to restart Kde
try now the Konqueror Configuration and now you have access to your new ttf fonts with AA

best regards
C.
