qtconfig fonts list on linux

I've built qt 4.7.4 on ubuntu and my application fonts look terrible. I used qtconfig to try and make the font more pleasing to the eye, but most look really bad (not aliased, and the list of fonts appears incomplete; e.g the clearlooks font in gnome uses "sans", but this doesn't appear in the list of available fonts in qtconfig).

However, if I install qtconfig-qt4 using aptitude, the fonts rendered in that application look great and there are loads more fonts available. The settings however are not applied to my qt applications.

I have no idea where qtconfig is picking up the font settings it makes available nor where it is 开发者_如何学运维saving the settings. The qt docs don't seem to help as far as I can see.

If someone could help me with either setting up the qtconfig in my install (maybe I need to configure with some different options - I used -debug-and-release -fast -qt-libtiff -no-webkit ?) or getting my apps to pick up the qtconfig-qt4 settings I would be most grateful! I would prefer the former!

Cheers!

Had a similar issue where qtconfig doesn't seem to be picking up the system fonts. Found some settings in kubuntu under appearance - fonts where I changed "use anti-aliasing" to enabled (from system) and then when configured I enabled "use sub-pixel rendering".

I think this gets stored in a file ~/.fonts.conf.

Still haven't figured out how to get all the fonts to appear in qtconfig though.
