Hi,
As I have made the step, I thought that sharing knowledge will benefit to anyone ...
So, here it is:
1. Installation went well, without a hitch (rpm -Uhv *.rpm);
I did recompile main packages kde3.2.1 for alsa support. But System settings in Control Center always hangs a window. Don't know what is the reason.
2. Fonts rendering changed again in 3.2.1: by default anti-aliasing is
enabled and there is no way to retrieve the sharp - clear rendering that I
had with 3.2. (see this:
http://perso.netpratique.fr/softexpert/img/KDE/FontRendering2.png). Why?
After recompile some fonts are weird. http://www.depo9.cz/images/snapshot.png
3. From time to time, the system gives the impression that it freezes
completely, only to continue normally after 10-25 seconds. Weird ...
Never happened to me.
4. Applications icons are missing (see this image: http://perso.netpratique.fr/softexpert/img/KDE/IconsMissing.png).
5. Font rendering causes as well some weird size calculations for menus (see
this image:
http://perso.netpratique.fr/softexpert/img/KDE/FontRendering1.png).
Did you try to choose another font for menu?
6. A weird bug on Quanta (crash when opening a file named index.php and thatYes, quanta seems to work well, but with other text coding (iso-8895-2)
has require(somefile.php) was solved.
sometimes It disturb that file is changed before saving. I have to reopen file.
My Fedora Core has the following configuration:
kernel: 2.4.22-1.2174.nptl
freetype: freetype-2.1.7-2 (compiled for athlon with bytecode interpreter
enabled)
I'm using 2.4.22-1.2174.nptl_38.rhfc1.at and freetype-2.1.4-5.
I reinstalled everything a week ago and I managed to have wonderfull fonts
with KDE 3.2. It was PERFECT. Now I have again the strange antialiasing stuff ...
Very nice work on kde 3.2.1. Well done, developers.
