+<para
+>This module is designed to allow you to easily select different fonts for different parts of the &kde; Desktop.</para>
+
+<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 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
+>File Manager</guilabel
+> (Font to use in the
+&kde; file manager)</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 dialogue box appears. You can use this dialogue box to choose a new font, font style, size and character set. Then press <guibutton
+>OK</guibutton
+>.</para>
+
+<para
+>An example of the font you have chosen will be displayed in the space between the font group name and the choose button.</para>
+
+<para
+>When you are done, simply click <guibutton
+>OK</guibutton
+>, and all 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 dialogue 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
+>For example, if you have selected several different font faces above, and realise 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 customised font faces and styles.</para>
+
+<sect2 id="fonts-aa">
+<title
+>Anti-alias text</title>
+
+<para
+>To use anti-aliasing, simply place a mark in the checkbox labelled <guilabel
+>Use anti-aliasing for fonts</guilabel
+>. This enables two more options.</para>
+<para
+>Placing a mark in the 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 on the same line.</para>
+
+<para
+>You can also choose the method that &kde; uses to create an anti-alias look to your fonts. If you are not familiar with the individual methods, you should leave this option alone.</para>
+
+<note
+><para
+>The ability to use anti-aliased fonts and icons requires that you have support in both X and the &Qt; toolkit, that you have suitable fonts installed, and that you are using the built-in font serving capabilities of the X server. If you still are having problems, please contact the appropriate &kde; mailing list, or check the <acronym
+>FAQ</acronym
+>.</para
