[LUNI] AA fonts on Redhat 8

Hi,
    I've got a problem with the way AA fonts are working on Redhat 8. 
Basically, I've got a pretty small monitor, so I don't need AA fonts, 
but when I disable AA in the apps that do use it (KDE, GNOME 2), the 
system seems to fall back on to bitmap fonts instead of using the TTF 
fonts that are available. The same fonts look perfectly fine on the apps 
that don't support AA (Mozilla, gaim etc.). Thus, I'm stuck with either 
using blurry fonts or very jagged fonts when AA is disabled. The fonts 
used to work fine with Debian woody. Do you guys have any idea how I can 
use my plain ole' ttf fonts without antialiasing on KDE?

Regards
