Maybe the readme at the ftp-directory:

It says something about qt and antialiasing and everything being compiled 
against the original packages. (can't remember all of it)

I got SuSE7.2, also installed the SuSE rpms and no Antialiasing either :-(

Could it be that compiling QT would help?

What are the recommended commandline arguments for ./configure?
Is there a Howto for compiling QT for KDE3?
