What is you choice of fonts in KDE ?

I'm using KDE 3.3.1 in slackware 10. I have a 19 inch monitor using a screen size of 1280x1024 . I want to know, what fonts (type and size) do you use and what is your antialiasing setting ? (because I consider that fonts in the menus are somewhat too small to see and not so accurately drawn)

Standart, menu, window title, task bar : Luxi Sans 11
Tool bar : Luxi Sans 10
Fixed : courier 12

Antialiasing : on
Antialiasing checked options : none

Thanks Cedrik, I switched to your fonts and unchecked the exclude range in the antialiasing menu and I have better view quality. Do you know a good utility in order to change the gtk applications fonts ?

install gtk-qt theme engine and i think it will add a entry in kde control center to change fonts for gtk2 apps.

The GTK2 fonts in KDE can can be controlled by creating a file in /home/<user> called .gtkrc-2.0 (don't forget the leading period) and adding the line:

gtk-font-name = "Verdana 9"

Substitute your KDE font and size for what I have and capitalize the font name.
