Subject: Emacs CVS 22.0.90 and XFT fonts on ubuntu-powerbook ?
Date: Fri, 10 Nov 2006 23:39:20 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <874pt7apuv.fsf@tallis.ilo.ucl.ac.uk> (raw)

Hi,

i just compiled Emacs following the instructions found here:
<http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/XftGnuEmacs>

I expected anti-aliased fonts, but 

  emacs --enable-font-backend --font "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-10"

yields a somewhat disappointing 

  "No fonts match: Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-10"

I'm sure i'm missing something very obvious, maybe not directly
related to Emacs.  I'm running Emacs from within ratpoison - Ubuntu
edgy on a powerbook G4.

Any hint would be very welcome!
