QT backport to woody is compiled without anti-aliasing (XFT support).

Well, you *have* the checkbox enabled, but antialiasing can never get to
work because it's simply not available in your version of QT. IMO it all
would be a little less confusing if KControl detected this and wouldn't
let you choose anti-aliasing if it's not compiled in.

Definitely. That font belongs to that package.

Don't get that confused here: Bitstream seems to be the Foundry of the
font, not a type or anything else. type(Bitstream) == type(Adobe) !=
type(bitmap).
