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!
