I tried kde 3.1 and I also experienced that ... but only after I tryed to
use "anti-aliased fonts".
I reverted to kde 2.2.2, and, if you use anti-aliased fonts, you'll also
see that behaviour.
I personally unselected the antialised fonts, but I'm sure there musr be a
clever way to do it...
[just a workaround: "small" fonts seem nice, for what I've experienced]
