<para>This module is designed to allow you to easily select different
|
|
fonts for different parts of the &kde; Desktop.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The panel consists of different font groups to give you a lot of
|
|
flexibility in configuring your fonts: </para>

|
<para>Each font has a corresponding <guibutton>Choose...</guibutton>
|
|
button. By clicking on this button, a dialog box appears. You can
|
|
use this dialog box to choose a new font, font style, size and
|
|
character set. Then press <guibutton>OK</guibutton>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>An example of the font you have chosen will be displayed in the space
|
|
between the font group name and the <guibutton>Choose...</guibutton>
|
|
button.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>When you are done, simply click <guibutton>OK</guibutton>, and
|
|
all necessary components of &kde; will be restarted so your changes
|
|
can take affect immediately.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <guibutton>Adjust All Fonts...</guibutton> button allows you to
|
|
quickly set properties for all the fonts selected
|
|
above. A font selection dialog similar to the standard one will
|
|
appear, but you will notice checkboxes that allow you to change the
|
|
<guilabel>Font</guilabel>, <guilabel>Font style</guilabel> or
|
|
<guilabel>Size</guilabel> independently of each other. You can
|
|
choose any one, two, or three of these options, and they will be
|
|
applied to all the font groups.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>For example, if you have selected several different font faces
|
|
above, and realize they are all a size too big (this often happens
|
|
when you change screen resolution, for instance), you can apply a new
|
|
font size to all the fonts, without affecting your customized font
|
|
faces and styles.</para>

<title>Anti-alias text</title>

|
|
<para>To use anti-aliasing, simply place a mark in the checkbox labeled
|
|
<guilabel>Use anti-aliasing for fonts</guilabel>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Placing a mark in the checkbox will allow you to specify which range of
|
|
fonts will <emphasis>not</emphasis> be anti-aliased. This range is specified
|
|
with the two combo boxes on the same line.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>You can also choose the method that &kde; uses to create an anti-alias
|
|
look to your fonts, and how strongly it should be applied. If you are not
|
|
familiar with the individual methods, you should leave this option
|
|
alone.</para>

<note><para>
|
|
The ability to use anti-aliased fonts and icons requires that you have
|
|
support in both X and the &Qt; toolkit, that you have suitable fonts
|
|
installed, and that you are using the built-in font serving capabilities
|
|
of the X server. If you still are having problems, please contact the
|
|
appropriate &kde; mailing list, or check the
|
|
<acronym>FAQ</acronym>.</para></note>
