Your text suggests you are happy with it, and thats great ! The beauty of Linux is it is all about choice.

What I was asking, was something more along the lines of a screen print of the output of KDE3's:
Configure Desktop > Appearance and Themes > Fonts ...
what is selected for General, Fixed Width, Toobar, Menu, Window Title, Taskbar, Desktop, and in the field "use anti-aliasing" / "configure" and Force fonts DPI ? Mandriva using KDE must have something similar.

Also, under Configure Desktop > Appearance and Themes > GTK Styles and Fonts, what is selected in Mandriva of "Use Style" ... and for "GTK fonts" ...

Also under Configure Desktop > Appearance and Themes > Style > Style what is selected under "Widget Style" ? Mandriva surely has an equivalent.

Thats on KDE3.

Upon looking again, you are using KDE4. KDE4 has similar settings but the menu navigation is different.
Fonts setup (typeface, dpi) is visible on that screenshot I sent. Anti-aliasing is turned on, medium hinting, no excluded range.

For GTK apps, I cannot see where to change the settings within GUI, but mingling through /etc/gtk and /usr/share/themes/ would reveal the configuration.

Widget stlye is laOra-Qt (never heard of :-), which is default, and probably some Mandriva specific one.

Cheers,
Davor
