KDE. Font rendering without antialiasing

I don't like antialiasing and always turn it off. Everything is ok, except modern fonts on the web. They look realy ugly. Is there any way to improve their rendering without antialiasing?

Thanks in advance!

Re: KDE. Font rendering without antialiasing

Hi ryvasy - I'm no expert, but from what I understand is that some fonts are designed to look good with antialiasing,  and some are designed to look good withoutwiki antialisasing. So what you should do is apply the antialising that the font wants! This means antialias ON for some fonts, and OFF for others. let your eyes decide.  I'm just diving into this (like I said, no expert!), I think it's in a fonts config file (see the  wiki).

The other thing is the size.  This post is from someone who puts aliassing on large letters only, but who keeps the smaller sizes antialiased.
