I don't seem to have to. The fonts look anti-aliased to me (xmag shows some "grey" pixels). I then added the fontbackend and ran xrdb. xmag shows no change I use gentoo and have the xft use flag set, which brings in quite a bit and presumably turns on XFT. Another possibility is that I use bitstream vera fonts not Inconsolata. allan
