[chandler-users] Chandler font looks jagged and spindly

[Robin Dunn]

My guess is that the setting for anti-aliasing of fonts is turned off 
somewhere.  Do other GTK based apps on your system also have the jagged 
look?  Since you are using KDE for the desktop environment then there is 
probably a panel in the Control Center with settings for GTK Styles and 
Fonts, and also the main Fonts panel will have an option for whether 
anti-aliasing should be used.
