KDE fonts

Why do my KDE fonts look so bad? I switched to SuSE 9.2 from Debian and quickly realized that SuSE is geared towards KDE. Fine, I really like KDE as a desktop manager better than Gnome, however, KDE looks like Windows 3.1 to me compared to Gnome, especially where fonts are concerned. The really small fonts in Firefox, for example, just look like garbage. It's a system wide issue though. If KDE looked as good as Gnome, I would never even consider using Gnome again. Anyone know how, if possible, to fix this? Thanks.

BTW - I use a GeForce 6800 (nVidia 61.11 drivers) with an NEC MutiSync LCD1765 flat panel running at 1280x1024 @ 80kHz horizontal, 75Hz vertical. It looks absolutely beautiful in Windows XP and any Linux distro running Gnome.

KDE Fonts

The fonts you speak of in Firefox (at least) have nothing to do with KDE. You might want to install gtk-qt engine so that your GTK apps (which Firefox is) have similar look and feel to KDE/Qt ones.

Search for gtk-qt on kde-look.org and/or kde-apps.org. If you are using SuSE, it should be available from YaST.
How come I can never come up with something original as my signature?

The fonts can be changed from control center. And you can install new fonts in there.
Thanks and best regards...
