# Fonts

This module is designed to allow you to easily select different fonts for different parts of the KDE Desktop.

The panel consists of 7 different font groups to give you a lot of flexibiliity in configuring your fonts:

- General (Used everywhere the other font groups don't apply)

- Fixed width (Anywhere a non-proportional font is specified)

- Desktop Icon (Fonts to use for Desktop icon text)

- File Manager (Font to use in the &kde; file manager)

- Toolbar (Font used in &kde; application toolbars)

- Menu (Font used in &kde; application menus)

- Window Title (Font used in the window title)

Each font has a corresponding choose button. By clicking on this button, a dialog box appears. You can use this dialog box to choose a new font, font style, size and character set. Then press OK.

An example of the font you have chosen will be displayed in the space between the font group name and the choose button.

When you are done, simply click OK, and all necessary components of &kde; will be restarted so your changes can take affect immediatly.

Finally, there is a check box to enable Anti Aliasing for fonts. The ability to use Anti Aliased fonts and icons requires that you have support in both X and the &Qt; toolkit, and that you have suitable fonts installed, and are using the built in font serving capabilities of the X server. If you still are having problems, please contact the appropriate &kde; mailing list, or check the FAQ.
