<br>
I have come upon an annoying flaw in SuSE Linux 10.0 that I didn't have
with SuSE Linux 9.3. However, I think the font display issue belongs to
KDE itself because it's the frontend that is responsible for graphics
display, but perhaps you know better. So the reason could be the
different KDE versions!<br>
<br>
I would like to exemplify that with the following two screenshots:<br>
<br>
Bad one: (OpenOffice, but the example applies to most of the programs
within Linux)<br>

Good one: (with KPDF, which displays it independently (It's just
PDF!)). That's the way SuSE 9.3 displayed all the text!<br>

<big>This problem has been circulating around fedoraforum.org as well.
It seems that going to Control Center->Appearance and
Themes->Fonts->check Use Anti-aliasing for Fonts (if it's not
already checked), Then click configure and change "Hinting Style" to
full. It helped some. but it's still noticeable. <br>
There was another kde-base update to fix the font problem for FC5, but
It didn't seem to change anything on my end. In fact, It seems to be
worse again. Perhaps after the last update, i need to go back to
default seeing for anti-aliasing (medium </big><big>Hinting Style).</big>
