Package:           konsole
Version:           1.0.2 (using KDE 2.2.1 )
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    SuSE
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (SuSE)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.10
OS/Compiler notes: 

Hello

(sorry i try to write in english!)

when you select the font antialiasing in the controlcenter then
the fonts only in "konsole" are damaged.
All characters write with a to small width?

a workaround ist to start with the script:

export QT_XFT=0
exec konsole

the script 
export QT_XFT=1
exec konsole

shows the effect.

Thanks  Helmut

Known problem duplicate report. Konsole has a "--noxft" parameter.

I found this issue after the following process: 
 
   1) build/install QT while using X4.2.1 
  2) build/install KDE 3.1.x 
  3) upgrade X to X 4.3.0 
 
   X 4.3.0 changes from Xft1.2 to Xft2.0 as default font renderer. 
   My solution used the QT_XFT=0  to start, but the real solution is to  
  rebuild QT against the new Xft in X 4.3.0  -- This is painless, other than the build time. 
  There are suggestions that you need a patch from K Packard in some cases, but on my 
  Slackware system it was unnessesary as far as I can tell. 
 
  This also eliminated the misaligned/incorrectly spaced fonts in Konsole and in other applications 
that used QT to create text panels ( I found on KDE 3.1.1 that the problem also affected many 
toolbar objects, creating panels that were several screen widths wide if an affected font was 
used on the toolbar/titlebar)
