!     <para>Anti-aliasing: Starting with XFree86 4.0.3, XFree86 does now
!     support antialiased fonts.  As of now, a lot of software does not
!     take advantage of it, but Qt (the toolkit for the KDE desktop) does;
!     so if you are running this version of XFree86 (or higher), Qt 2.3
!     (or higher) and KDE, all your KDE/Qt applications will use
!     anti-aliased fonts.</para>
