My problem is the same for all anti-aliased fonts, and believe me, it's
VERY noticable. :-)
I built emacs from CVS using
./configure --with-xpm --with-tiff --with-jpeg --with-png --with-rsvg
--with-x-toolkit=gtk
Maybe that means I've got multiple font backends and emacs doesn't
recognize that I want xft or something like that.
