"Cleartype" enabled?
 

How does one tell when you've got cleartype enabled?
I've installed the *ms* rpm from Yast Update.
Suggestions?

I'm guessing you mean Antialising.

Depends on the Desktop Environment or Windowmanager you're using.

Don't know about Gnome but in KDE it's in the Control Panel -> Look and Feel -> Fonts, enable antialiasing, adjust as necessary.

The MS Fonts doesn't do anything other than install webfonts.
