how can i improve the font in kde?


Hi,
I have Gentoo installed on my computer. I emerge kdebase-startkde which is the basic splited ebuild on kde on gentoo. However, when I started using it, i have very ugly font(skinny characters, does not look sharp) on the panel, windows and inside web browser(Konqueror). I did install Gnome (gnome-light)on a different machine which is also running gentoo but i have very smooth font (bold, big, firm) in the panel, windows... but inside the browser is as ugly as in KDE Konqueror. Could anyone tell me what should i do to make kde font looks good both in the control and inside the browser? I have fedora running too and its font is damn good. I want to have the font like that in gentoo.
Thanks in advance

I did it but it still look ugly. Is there anyway to get the font that fedora use and use it on gentoo? When i check the /etc/X11/xorg.conf, the font path that fedora use is something like:
unix:...
It's not a path , so i dont know where to copy these
Thanks for the url before
Thai
