I think the option is there but the funcionality isn't. You may think you activate it but unleess you install the modified freetype package you are not getting subpixel hinting. KDE seems more intelligent in this respect...as it KNOWS it isn't available and the option for it is grayed out. That's what I think is happening. I could be wrong though. -- Jorge -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
