this is working, I changed the line

font=Adobe Helvetica,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0

for 

font=Fangsong Ti,10,-1,5,48,0,0,0,0,0

in ~/.qt/qtrc


I think Hartwig that this has to do with this problem you are facing. I got it 
work using qtconfig (actually that application was a qt-app). Turning on/off 
anti-aliasing there made some fonts 'disapear', from qtconfig and kde-font 
chooser (i haven't touch font-installer!) as well. Removing qtrc they appear 
again -it changes the namings, but also something else regarding aa.

You could try to compile qt3.1.2 locally, then moving /usr/lib/qt3 to 
/usr/lib/qt3-tmp, and creating a link /usr/lib/qt3 pointing to your qt3.1.2.
(keeping a copy of ~/.qt) If something goes wrong, just restore 
/usr/lib/qt3-tmp from a console. Shouldn't be dangerous, since only the 
moving of this directory is under root. (if you try it, think on the switch 
/configure -no-stl, to be compatible with suse's pluggings; also don't move 
qt to a different path from where you compile it, otherwise won't find the 
libs)

Then you can safely play with kde-font chooser and qtconfig, both write to 
qtrc. Changing back and forth aa you could see whats going on. Usually kde 
modifies qtconfig at startup... this could explain that behavior you say 
that's changing in a new session)

I've aa working, but only some fonts. Others, eg helvetica, stay all the time 
'aliased'.
And, I need to add that peculiar font each time a plan to use this 
application, after a restart...

.. so, somehow disappointed, the previous suse8.0 + kde 3.1.2 had an 
excellent display and fonts, but not this 8.2  + 3.1.2.

 may be something in the xfree?




Thanks,



Pere
