font related questions

Hi,
I have a couple of questions regarding fonts. I am usin Debian (sid) + X.org 6.8.2 + KDE 3.4.0.
1) I am using freetype 2.17 package which is in the debian repositories and I dont know if it has the bytecode interpreter enabled because all of the word fonts using tahoma are perfect but numbers such as 2 8 and 6 seem a bit messed up.
2) I want to use antialiasing for bold fonts less than 10pt and more than 14 pt. I tried messing around with the XML in ~/.fonts.conf but can only manage to anti alias all bold fonts. This was the XML I was using

<test compare="more" name="size" qual="any" >
   <double>14</double>

  <test compare="less" name="size" qual="any" >
   <double>10</double>
  <edit mode="assign" name="antialias" >
   <bool>true</bool>
  </edit>
 </match>


3) How can I get true type fonts like tahoma and verdana to show up in konsole?

Thanks a lot

RE: font related questions

I know this is a silly question, but did you change the fonts in Control Center, Appearance & Themes, Fonts? Fixed width will change it for Konsole.
