Which TTFonts do you use for anti aliasing and Konqueror?

After having tried all browsers, from Netscape to Firebird I'm now stuck with Konqueror 3.1.3, I just think it's a fast and beautiful browser. I'm just now realizing how cumbersome the Mozilla based browsers are...

I'm using AA with the following fonts(in that order):
Arial
Courier New
Times NEw Roman
Arial
Comic Sans MS
Rockwell

I Windows NT on the same box and so I can use the MS fonts. Many websites look now much better, but the letters are sometimes a bit "thick" or blurry.

My ~/.xftconfig contains this:

match
any size > 8
any size < 15
edit
antialias = false;


I'm just curious to know which TT fonts and settings you use. Thanx!

KDE 3.1.3 (self built), XFree86 4.2.0(SuSE),freetype2-2.0.4-37(SuSE)

If you have access to Windows fonts you might try Tehoma and Verdana to really make those web pages look good.

Verdana looks good, thanx. Verdana letters are large and readable.

Firebird? Naaahhh... okay, it starts up much faster and may display some sites better than Konqui, but I really hate this GTK interface and some themes can slow down Firebird's GUI IMHO.

Konqueror needs only little development and it will be one of the best browsers! I miss the ability to store passwords in Konqueror, just as FB can save passwords...

AFAIK this feature will be added in KDE 3.2.
It's called KWallet and it will store Web passwords,
ICQ passwords, ...
It'll use encryption so you'll only need one
password to unlock your wallet.

That'd be great! Mac OS X has such a feature already which can be used to manage all your passwords.

At the moment I'm still using knotes for storing passwords which are not sensitive... KDE really needs a good password manager that can handle any kind of pw's, for KDE apps and pw's a user just want to stored somewhere. KDE 3.2 seem to be a real milestone.
