Well, I thought this was a solved problem, and it is on my desktop. I 
recently did a new installation on my laptop. I have a basic KDE up and 
running now, but I can't get any anti-aliasing.

I have freetype2 installed and tried compiling with and with out the 
bytecode interpreter. I am pretty sure I have the same stuff installed on 
my desktop and laptop, and yet, one has AA and the other doesn't.

Is there something I did, some configuration, that I can't remember that is 
neccessary? I am using all TTF fonts and have anti-aliasing turned on in 
the KDE control panels.

Some inconsistencies I just noticed. My desktop indicates that Xft2 is 
installed, but there is no XftConfig file. Also I have a font server on my 
desktop, but not on my laptop. My laptop does have and XftConfig file.

Am I over looking something? Is a font server neccessary?

There is an anti-aliasing button in the control center under: Appearnace 
& Themes/Fonts called "Use Anti-aliasing for fonts. The default is not 
set. I had the same problem when I upgraded to the last KDE.
