*Search* this site <http://forums.opensuse.org/search.php> for the
many previous posts with hints on how to fix the problem. After doing
that myself about six months ago my fonts are beautiful.

Hope they stay that way because these are the only notes I took
(dashed line between the various posts that I followed: maybe it
helps you maybe not--SEARCH for yourself):

optimal use of MS trueType core fonts for a KDE desktop on SUSE

fonts: hinting http://opensuse-community.org/SubpixelHinting

------------------------

I installed MS Fonts from the Windows XP SP2 partition. And changed
from /etc/sysconfig/fonts-config
- BYTECODE_BW_MAX_PIXEL="18"
- EMBEDDED_BITMAPS_LANGUAGES=""

--------------------------
fonts: ms fonts
Just download this package

and install with yast 2

Then set your fonts with "configure desktop" in KDE

The adjust your bytecode interpreter
go to

Yast2 > System ? etc/sysconfig editor > desktop >
Bytecode_BW_Max_Pixel
and change setting to 18

Then enable subpixel hinting using 'Configure Desktop', 'Appearance'
and 'Fonts' - 'Use anti-aliasing'. I stuck with the default RGB
Horizontal, full. I haven't forced the fonts to a set dpi either.

set the antialiasing in your desktop config to how you like.
Personally I set mine to full antialiasing with font sizes between 6
and 14..
