Reading Aaron’s latest Blog entry I was totally blown away by the graphics he had in his post – to the point that I was so blown away I posted a comment asking where to get them when Aaron actually linked to them *cough*.
Anyway, check out Wade’s Blog and his public Picasa gallery for some [...]

KDE 4.1 RC1+ on OpenSuSE 11.0
Posted in KDE, Linux, tagged KDE, Linux, OpenSuSE on July 28, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Edit: Thanks Miguel, it’s indeed RC1+.
I was bored over the weekend. Really bored. Kinda had a little flu, so couldn’t go outside… What does one do then? Yeah, check out another distribution.
Decided to give OpenSuSE 11.0 a spin – wasn’t terribly amazed by the 10.3 release, but really curious to see what they [...]

Writing this post under KDE 4.1 Beta 2.
Downloaded the new Mandriva 2009.0 to test out their implementation of KDE 4.1 Beta 2 and boy… It rocks. Plasma is coming along and is useable now. Folderview rocks. Nepomuk integration rocks. Font rendering rocks. General looks is sexy. The whole thing flies even when under a Live [...]
So I don’t forget it again…

… gosh, I always forget what I do to my font configs on my machines.
KDE: Enable Antialiasing/Subpixel hinting RGB/Style Medium
Fontconfig system wide: Replace Helvetica with something readable in .fonts.conf
Link 10-autohint.conf and 10-sub-pixel-rgb.conf
To be never forgotten again for my fonts to look gorgeous.
Installing Lotus Notes 8 on Kubuntu Hardy 8.04
Posted in KDE, Linux, tagged KDE, Linux, Notes on May 7, 2008 | 7 Comments »
Since I gave in and switched from Sidux to the new Kubuntu 8.04 – simply because Sidux just was too bleeding edge for my work rig, too many kernel switches and the new 2.6.25 totally borking my Cisco VPN Client – I had to install Lotus Notes 8.01 … Again. And it was horror again. [...]
Firefox 3 / (K)ubuntu 8.04 Large Fonts Fix
Posted in KDE, Linux, tagged Firefox, KDE, Linux on May 7, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
about:config
layout.css.dpi
set to either 72 or 96
Beyond me how that could slip through Q&A.
And why o why is there still no decent Antialiasing enabled by default?
System Settings/Appearance/Fonts, enable Antialiasing, Subpixel-Hinting RGB, Hinting Style slight.
A simple tweak to make your GTK Fonts look nice in KDE

… at least when using Sidux.
I was quite annoyed yesterday because my KDE fonts looked simply crispy and marvellous, yet the ones in Pidgin and Iceweasel/Firefox (pretty much the only GTK apps I use) looked like shit. gtk-qt-engine does a good job keeping my fonts the same, but there was simply no anti-aliasing going [...]
Font tweaks

Thanks to some helpful comment at osnews.com I tried changing my KDE fonts to the excellent Bitstream Vera Sans Fonts with medium Subpixel Hinting enabled and boy… Did that make a difference. Crispy, excellent looking fonts that you can actually read a mile away now. Makes me wonder why no distribution I ever tried [...]
