    John, if you use the Mozilla browser you can get results similar to IE.

    Hmmm, I'll have to give it a shot. I tried Nutscrape too and it looked just as bad as Konq. I also still have to figure out how to get truetype fonts into Linux. I'm kind of surprised/dissappointed that there's no font anti-aliasing like in Windows..

      You're right, it looks better. Now, how do I get the fonts to be anti-aliased? :)

        I am using Netscape 6.1 and CP looks great in it. So cool is the Toy Factory theme, which matches the CP colors exactly. Best regards, Paul.

          In KDE control center, switch anti-aliasing on in Look&Feel->Style. You need to install TrueType fonts to make anti-aliasing work.

            KDE does have font anti-aliasing. Josh josh@that-guy.net

              added the true-type fonts this morning before leaving for work. Can't find arial in the font list though... I'll check out the control center again tonite.

                You might want to try Opera v5 for Linux, I found it displayed better than Konq, Netscape, Mozilla, etc. Mike Mullikin :) Real programmers don't document their code. It was hard to write - it should be hard to read!

                  Remember that Linux is case-sensitive! Your TrueType Fonts should have extension .ttf, not .TTF

                    Ahhhhh, okay... That's probably what's wrong.

                      You have to use "Helvetica", which is in the same font family. -Thomas

                        I'm using that now, but I don't think you can anti-alias a non tru-type font in Linux.

                          The only problem I used to run into with KDE and anti-aliased fonts was that characters on the console would be all f'd up. The latest release seems to be free of this problem though. Josh josh@that-guy.net
