Even if I turn off antialiasing in the KDE 3.2.0 font property configuration dialog, the fonts stay antialiased, even if I log out and then back in. I even tried to add this: <!-- Disable antialiasing --> <match target="font"> <edit name="antialias" mode="assign"><const>false</const></edit> </match> in /etc/fonts/local.conf, and after uptading the font cache with fc-cache, the problem still persists. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Turn off antialiasing in KDE configuration 2. Log out and back in 3. See the antialiased fonts Actual Results: The fonts stayed antialiased Expected Results: Antialiasing should have been turned off. twix@telvanni twix $ emerge --info Portage 2.0.50-r1 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.3.2, glibc-2.3.2-r9, 2.6.3-mm3) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.3-mm3 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2100+ Gentoo Base System version 1.4.3.13 Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.58-r1 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.7.7 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs buildpkg ccache sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirrors.tds.net/gentoo http://www.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu/pub/gentoo http://cudlug.cudenver.edu/gentoo/ http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow X aalib alsa apache2 apm arts artswrappersuid avi berkdb cdr crypt cscope cups curl dga encode flash foomaticdb gd gdbm gif gpm gtk2 imlib java jpeg kde libg++ libwww mad mcal mikmod mmx motif moznocompose moznoirc moznomail mpeg mysql ncurses nls oggvorbis opengl oss pam perl png python qt quicktime readline samba sdl spell sse ssl svga tcpd tetex tiff truetype vim-with-x x86 xml2 xmms xv zlib"
The antialiasing seems to be controlled by /etc/fonts/*.conf, not KDE's control center.
