Small font antialiasing on Linux with Qt 4.2
Message 1 in thread
I have installed Qt 4.2.0 and then Qt 4.2.1. With these new versions, in
Linux (Mandriva 2005 and Suse 10.0), fonts under 14 points are not
antialiased.
Using the previous versions (4.1.x or 3.x.x) or the new version in
Windows, I have no problems.
Why this? Is there some configuration anywhere?

For Mandriva Linux you can try the following, if you get no other help:
# cd /etc/fonts/conf.d
# chmod 000 02-mdk-disable-antialias.conf
# service xfs restart

Thank you, Nora, but the problem still persist.
It seems not to be a problem of X or Kde configuration. The same program
compiled with Qt 4.1.x on the same system (I have either Qt 4.1.x and
4.2.x installed) doesn't have this problem.

Installing a lot of rpm on Suse (various programs) the problem of fonts
disappeared. However on Mandrake still persists.

Under Mandriva I had the problem: Qt-4.1.x programs where
fine, Qt-4.2.x programs where ugly. After disableing
'/etc/fonts/conf.d/02-mdk-disable-antialias.conf' and restarting the
fontserver this problem is gone. Your mileage may vary.
Liebe Grüße, Nora.

On my Mandriva 2005 LE that file doesn't exist, but I found that
directory which contains files with similar meanings. I tried to change
these settings in variuos ways but nothing changes.
Do you know where can I find some info on this configuration directory
and it's behavior?

On Mandriva 2006 this file (and the whole directory) belongs to:
2510 [hydra:~] =rpm -qf /etc/fonts/conf.d/02-mdk-disable-antialias.conf
fontconfig-2.3.2-5mdk
I have no 2005.LE machine anymore, but if I look into the archive, I can see:
2511 [hydra:~] =rpm -qlp /share/2005.LE/media/main/fontconfig-2.3.1-2mdk.i586.rpm
/etc/fonts
/etc/fonts/conf.d
/etc/fonts/conf.d/autohint.conf
/etc/fonts/conf.d/no-bitmaps.conf
/etc/fonts/conf.d/no-sub-pixel.conf
/etc/fonts/conf.d/sub-pixel.conf
/etc/fonts/conf.d/unhinted.conf
/etc/fonts/conf.d/yes-bitmaps.conf
/etc/fonts/fonts.conf
/etc/fonts/fonts.dtd
/usr/bin/fc-cache
/usr/bin/fc-list
/usr/bin/fc-match

/usr/share/doc/fontconfig-2.3.1/COPYING
/usr/share/doc/fontconfig-2.3.1/README
/usr/share/doc/fontconfig-2.3.1/fontconfig-user.html
/usr/share/doc/fontconfig-2.3.1/fontconfig-user.txt
/usr/share/man/man1/fc-cache.1.bz2
/usr/share/man/man1/fc-list.1.bz2
/usr/share/man/man1/fc-match.1.bz2
/usr/share/man/man5/fonts-conf.5.bz2
May be, you will find some hints in the man pages or in the
files in '/usr/share/doc/fontconfig-2.3.1'.
I'm very sorry, but I'd never understand the whole font thing, so I'm
of less help on this topic. :'-(

Thank you, Nora, I finally solved the problem!
Looking at the content of fontconfig files I found an antialias XML
directive in "/etc/fonts/fonts.conf" which disable antialias for too
small font. I commented this block and now all magically works!
