I would be grateful if you'd also think about ways to customize AA per font and/or face along the way; provided that this is feasible at all. AA may look good, but it also makes the characters look blurry which can be a source of headaches for some people who are sensitive to this. OTOH, some free scalable m17n fonts lack hinting, so they are basically unusable on a computer screen withouth AA. Being able to enable AA partially per font or face would get us the best of both worlds. Oliver -- 2 Germinal an 213 de la Révolution Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité!
