Maybe this is a KDE issue, but I've installed Zen 4 on two laptops and the fonts on the second one's fonts are grainy as heck.

Laptop 1: Dell Inspiron B130 widescreen:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 03)


Laptop 2: Dell Inspiron 8200 not widescreen:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 440 Go] (rev a3)

When I first installed Zen and KDE on the B130, the fonts were grainy too, but it seemed to resolve itself. On the 8200, it hasn't.

Allow me to clarify: On the 8200, not everything appears grainy. Primarily it's the fonts in Konsole and Firefox 2. On the B130 it was all of them. Any ideas?

did you netpkg xorg-font* ? Some font packages aren't on the default install.
I had problems with emacs before installing some of them, now i've :
xorg-fonts-100dpi-7.1.1-noarch-1z40
xorg-fonts-misc-7.1.1-noarch-1z40
xorg-fonts-75dpi-7.1.1-noarch-1z40
xorg-fonts-scalable-7.1.1-noarch-1z40
xorg-fonts-cyrillic-7.1.1-noarch-1z40
some of them might not be usfull, but as i didn't have disk space problems for now, i don't really care

Thanks, guth. That worked.
