ok, this is one that i actually haven't seen yet. i've been reading up everywhere i can about how to make the $hitty KDE/Mdk/X/whatever fonts look right. the recommendations i tried included these:
use drakefont to add the mozilla fonts
remove the old .kde directory (leftover from 2.0.1)
change the Xservers file in /usr/X11R6/lib/whatever
ok, the biggest improvement i saw was in letting KDE 2.1.1 make a new ~/.kde folder, then moving over the stuff that i needed. also editing that Xservers file shows me lots of neat tricks from playing around, but didn't really help me any. my biggest trouble was in adding the mozilla fonts. after i did that, all the programs that take their font attributes from Gnome are HUGE. i only have two boxes on Gkrellm, and it takes up almost half the height of the screen. i have found no way to a) uninstall those mozilla fonts (since i don't know which ones it installed) or b) change the Gnome fonts. if someone could just tell me how to do that, i think everything would be roughly back to snuff. oh, and while i'm at it...when i was using my old ~/.kde folder i still had the "laptop" window style...is there any way to get that back? i kind of liked having the close icon on the left corner instead of the right...but the fonts are my big concern (pun intended).
