Right, so, first step, how do I install Gnome? and how do I go about toggling between window managers?TdC said:heh, install both. you should be able to choose (and swap)between them.
also, though fonts in unix tend to hate me with a passion there is no reason they shouldn't love you AA should be automagically turned on iirc, but as so many things in unix it depends on certain programs, how they've been compiled at start, configuration files et al. the main widget thingy that KDE uses to make with the windows is called QT. this *needs* to be compiled with AA enabled iirc, and you need to have a font, or set of fonts selected to display that are made for AA or they just won't render properly (or was that true type? I forget heh :/)
I'd advise playing about in your gui configuration editor app to see what you can see.
Gnome on the other hand is based around a different set of libraries (gimp and imgmagick iirc) and I have no idea how it works other than that you can get *much* more eyecandy than with KDE.
tbh I've drifted too far away from linux in general and configuring desktops in particular to be much help. I hope some of the other *IX folk can render more assistance.
