Are you running KDE with the gtk-qt theme engine? If so, I had a similar |
| 9 |
problem with fonts no longer being anti-aliased in gaim. I found the |

solution on this page: |

Basically you need to change your General font setting in the control center. |
| 15 |
Once you make a change (any change) you can change it back to how you had it |
| 16 |
originally. Once you restart your gtk applications the fonts should be |
| 17 |
aliased again. There is no explanation for why this works, but it resolved |
| 18 |
the issue for me. |

Hope that helps. |
