Since Fedora Core 2, I've always had a problem with anti-aliased fonts. The problem is that I could never get gnome and kde AA fonts right when using kde as my desktop. Whenever I would launch a GTK app, the AA fonts were rendered incorrectly. I would have to open up a konsole and type "gnome-font-properties" to get AA turned on for the GTK apps. That is still the case with FC2T3. How can get AA fonts turned on for GTK apps without having to manual do it?
KDE AA fonts were horrid in FC2. However, in FC3T2 the AA fonts are perfect in KDE, better than gtk even.
Observations
When I recently upgraded my FC2 with XOrg 6.8.0 (non redhat), the font problem totally disappeared. I still had to manually type "gnome-font-properties" for the GTK apps, but they were rendered beautifully. This is on a ATI Mobility 9000 graphics adapter.
Now, with FC3T2, the fonts are back to being rendered incorrectly between GTK and KDE.
How can I fix this?
Thanks,

You will have to execute '/usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon'. But beware: Gnome tries to rule the world and is very invasive. After this step, lot of your KDE and X setting will be overridden (e.g. keyboard setup, application fonts+colors, mouse-speed, screensaver, ...).

Is there a default schema I can edit?
