i lost my gtk fonts antialiasing after upgrade

Again, i have problems after a global upgrade.

I lost my gtk fonts antialiasing after upgrade. I lost the fonts quality of the programs that use gtk-engine like (firefox, thunderbird, etc). Here is the pacman log:

why the maintainers dont test the pkgs (especialy the gtk app) before the refresh of the source mirrors? this is terrible boring...

Update kde-common to -2. KDE turns AA off by default.

Re: i lost my gtk fonts antialiasing after upgrade

Update from an up-to-date mirror? The current version of kde-common is 3.5.4-2. As a workaround, you could go to the KDE font preferences, disable AA, apply and enable AA after that, it should work with non-KDE apps then too again.

i change the fonts style on the kcontrol to defaults and after that i set on the gtk-engine to (use my kde fonts in gtk app) and i restart the applications...now seems to be ok... thx
