 <para>The panel consists of different font groups to give you a lot of
 flexibility in configuring your fonts: </para>
 
 <itemizedlist>
 <listitem><para><guilabel>General:</guilabel> Used everywhere when the other font
 groups do not apply</para></listitem>
 
 <listitem><para><guilabel>Fixed width:</guilabel> Anywhere a
 non-proportional font is specified</para></listitem>
 
 <listitem><para><guilabel>Small:</guilabel> When small fonts are used</para></listitem> 
 
 <listitem><para><guilabel>Toolbar:</guilabel> Font used in &kde; application
 toolbars</para></listitem>
 
 <listitem><para><guilabel>Menu:</guilabel> Font used in &kde; application
 menus</para></listitem>
 
 <listitem><para><guilabel>Window title:</guilabel> Font used in the window
 title</para></listitem>
 
 <listitem><para><guilabel>Taskbar:</guilabel> Font used in the taskbar
 panel applet</para></listitem>
 
 <listitem><para><guilabel>Desktop:</guilabel> Font used on the desktop 
 to label icons</para></listitem>
 
 </itemizedlist>
 
 <para>Each font has a corresponding <guibutton>Choose...</guibutton>
 button.  By clicking on this button, a dialog box appears.  You can
 use this dialog box to choose a new font, a font style and size.
 Then press <guibutton>OK</guibutton>.</para>
 
 <para>Check the <guilabel>Show only monospaced fonts</guilabel> to
 filter out all non-monospaced fonts from the list.</para>
 
 <para>An example of the font you have chosen will be displayed in the space
 between the font group name and the <guibutton>Choose...</guibutton>
 button.</para>
 
 <para>When you are done, simply click <guibutton>OK</guibutton> and
 all the necessary components of &kde; will be restarted so your changes
 can take affect immediately.</para>
 
 <para>The <guibutton>Adjust All Fonts...</guibutton> button allows you to
 quickly set properties for all the fonts selected
 above.  A font selection dialog similar to the standard one will
 appear, but you will notice checkboxes that allow you to change the
 <guilabel>Font</guilabel>, <guilabel>Font style</guilabel> or 
 <guilabel>Size</guilabel> independently of each other.  You can
 choose any one, two, or three of these options, and they will be
 applied to all the font groups.</para>
 
 <para>Check the <guilabel>Show only monospaced fonts</guilabel> to

 <para>For example, if you have selected several different font faces
 above, and realize they are all a size too big (this often happens
 when you change screen resolution, for instance), you can apply a new
 font size to all the fonts, without affecting your customized font
 faces and styles.</para>
 
 <sect2 id="fonts-aa">
 <title>Anti-aliasing text</title>
 
 <para>To use anti-aliasing setting, simply check the <guilabel>Enabled</guilabel> item and select the custom settings.</para>
 
 <para>Placing a mark in the <guilabel>Exclude range from anti-aliasing</guilabel> checkbox will allow you to specify which range of fonts will <emphasis>not</emphasis> be anti-aliased.  This range is specified with the two combo boxes below.</para>
 
 <para>You can also choose the method used to create an anti-alias
 look to your fonts, and how strongly it should be applied changing
 the <ulink url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subpixel_rendering">
 Sub-pixel rendering</ulink> and <ulink url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Font_hinting">
 font hinting</ulink>. It is also possible to <guilabel>Force font DPI</guilabel> for
 the <ulink url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dots_per_inch">screen rendering</ulink>.
 If you are not familiar with the individual methods,
 you should leave these options alone.</para>
 
 <note><para>
 The ability to use anti-aliased fonts and icons requires that you have
 support in both the display server and the &Qt; toolkit, that you have suitable fonts
 installed, and that you are using the built-in font serving capabilities
 of the display server.  If you still are having problems, please contact the
 appropriate &kde; mailing list.</para></note>

 <sect2 id="fonts-dpi">
 <title>Fonts DPI</title>
 
 <para><guilabel>Force fonts DPI:</guilabel> proposes you an alternate DPI other than your system one which is used as default when this setting is on <guilabel>Disabled</guilabel>. You can check what DPI your X server is set to by running <userinput>xdpyinfo | grep resolution</userinput> in a terminal window and then change the DPI using the drop down box. This will be applied to newly started applications only.</para>
