Wow, what a waste of time. I don't like kde at all. Anyway, the |
| 42 |
xfce4 fonts are now all screwed up. They basically look really ragged |
| 43 |
like they aren't anti-aliased. I haven't touched any xfce settings, |
| 44 |
only kde stuff. The xfce4 settings still look like they're set |
| 45 |
correctly. I do use the xfs font server and it is running. Any idea |
| 46 |
how to fix this? |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
Also, I do like how the kde file manager previews all images. Is |
| 49 |
there any way to get the xfce4 file manager (xffm) to do that? |
