Well, I thought I was doing that. "Verdana" and "Trebuchet MS" are supposed to 
be truetype fonts aren't they? At least they're in the /usr/X11R6/../truetype 
directory.

When I magnify the edges of these fonts with xmag then I always see a very 
jagged picturen in pure black, no greyscale pixels to smoothen the fonts. For 
me that indicates that AA didn't work.

A generic question: how can I distinguish between the two font types in KDE's 
font selection dialogs?
