I've turned it on on KDE without recompiling freetype. However, I've
seen this orientation in some places around the net... Don't know if
I'd get better results recompiling it, but the quality of fonts now are
fairly satisfactory in my LCD display, so I didn't try.
However, my bold fonts are a bit strange in F7, this did not happen in
FC6. I have to run some tests yet, though.
For the original poster, if you want to setup this in KDE, go to Control
Center - Appearance and Themes -> Fonts. Set "Use antialiasing"
to "Enabled" and click the "Configure" button. However, I usually get
better results editing /etc/fonts/local.conf. Also, editing this file,
the changes are applied to all users without having to reconfigure
their profiles one bye one. Here is a copy of my /etc/fonts/local.conf:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<!-- /etc/fonts/local.conf file for local customizations -->
<fontconfig>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="hinting" >
<bool>true</bool>
