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. -- Joost Diepenmaat | blog: http://joost.zeekat.nl/ | work: http://zeekat.nl/
