Yes, I like the fonts as well :) I got mad trying out all different fonts,
because at first there weren't many fonts available and I had to go back to
bitmapped fonts.
You ought to start installing alternative fonts then. Summon apt.
$ apt-cache search true.*type
The following packages seem worthwhile:
fttools - FreeType font utilities.
x-ttcidfont-conf - Configure TrueType and CID fonts for X.
msttcorefonts - Installer for Microsoft TrueType core fonts
ttf-commercial - Install or share some commercial truetype fonts with windows.
And of course
anti-aliasing-howto - Anti Aliasing metapackage
The qt-fonts-HOWTO.html pretty much covers which fonts you can use.
Also, I'm not sure why you can't use any bitmapped fonts when you start using
AA. Rather weird.
Lucida Console looks good with konsole but is it really better than fixed
(misc).
Thanks,
