OK, I've read these ones. Maybe I'm mistaken here, but the
qt-fonts-HOWTO seemed to me to be a guide to anti-aliasing with QT/KDE.
Which isn't at all what I want; not that AA isn't a nifty feature, but
my X server lacks the "Render" extension, which seems mandatory from
what I read. Nevertheless, I gave it a try, modified the XftConfig to
acknowledge the fonts from the msttcorefonts package, set the QT_XFT
variable to 1, turned on AA in the Control Center, and... nothing
happened, as I thought. I'm still stuck with helvetica. Now, having
spent my night de-installing and re-installing KDE, I think I'll go to
sleep a bit...

Yes, but I never talked of _AA fonts_, I talked about _fonts_. I don't
want AA, since I can't have AA, I just want KDE to be able to display
my non anti-aliased fonts. And XftConfig seems totally extraneous to
this problem (well, maybe I'm making a mistake here, but I haven't even
be able to find a paper explaining the syntax of that file, so if I've
missed something, I would be happy to know about that).
Well, hope I got the question right this time. Sorry if there are
misunderstandings, I know my English is fairly bad :(
Thank you for your answers, I'm dying to see that darn KDE work!
