How to tell KDE to use scalable fonts when possible ?

Hi,

I don't know if this is an X question or a KDE question. I am running XFree86 4.3 with KDE 3.1.2. I have installed a number of TTF for my codepage(Chinese) which looks much nicer than the bitmap font of X. However, Konqueror would use the bitmap fonts by default.

In the past, I understand that I can change the FontPath sequence to affect this but don't know how it is not as the TTF is not served by fontconfig and the "freetype" extension. That is all I know about X and fontconfig.

So how can I config either KDE or X to use scalable font when possible and only fallback to bitmap fonts if there is no suitable scalable fonts ?
