No. Since many weeks, maybe months, I have the X resource Emacs.FontBackend: x set or I launch GNU Emacs with --disable-font-backend. So I can =20 configure with '--enable-font-backend --with-xft.' When I make Emacs.FontBackend: xft active GNU Emacs 23.0.60 crashes after a few seconds with Fatal error (11)Segmentation fault Exit 139 when I launch it without --disable-font-backend. So libXft still =20 cannot be used for font rendering (though it works in Apple's xterm). =20= I could use it last summer (or autumn ?) last time, but the results =20 were not recognised as an improvement and documentation is so sparse =20 that I did not see a chance to make it look better, make it use my =20 preferred font. -- Greetings Pete The human animal differs from the lesser primates in his passion for =20 lists of "Ten Best." =96 H.
