fist of all thank you very much.
i found out that the layout configuration was in ~/.kde/share/config/kxkbrc.
though Layout was set to 'us' it did not work right. setting it to en_US did
work so i guess something (probably me by killing X with ctrl-alt-bs in
despair) messed up xlibs. i reinstalled xlibs and now Layout=us works as
before which is great. what a relief!

at the office we want to switch our machines from evil M$-Win2k to sweet
Debian gnu/linux and kde and one of the problems we have with win2k are the
fonts. often we have to (re)install and/or adjust fonts and things really get
messy when we edit documents on different machines because no machine has the
same font set. so i though having a font server making one font set available
for all machines would be nice and troublefree.
meanwhile i guess it's easier to install those font packages on every machine.
(i think i gotta get rid of my perfectionism someday but until then) can you
(or anyone else) point me to a howto about truetype/antialiasing fonts with
xfree86? i really want to know how this works.
with kind regards, caspar kurt
