[Linux-Discussion] TrueType problem - very odd

I can't remember having such difficulties getting truetype fonts to
display under X, but with my new Debian 3.0 (dist-upgraded to sarge)
install, I just can't get it to work. I've followed the HOWTO's and
numerous other guides to no avail. After days of trying different things
and restarting X probably 100 times, I'm just about ready to give up and
go back to Redhat, who seem to have the whole thing figured out.
So here's the deal: I've got the typical set of anti-aliased fonts
installed and I've tried loading them through X's FontPath directive,
through Xftconfig, through ~/.xftconfig, manually with xset fp, I've tried
using both font servers (xfs and xfstt)... The fonts are displayed, just
not anti-aliased.
What's even more odd is that within KDE's Font Installer, any anti-aliased
font is displayed correctly - full anti-aliasing and all - in the font
preview box. No other applications seem to be able to access this
anti-aliased goodness though.
So what gives? What's so different about my installation that prevents
fonts from being displayed correctly?
Thanks,
John
