getting anti-aliased fonts to work

getting anti-aliased fonts to work

[Tamas Papp]

Hi,

I thought I would try anti-aliased fonts in Emacs.  I am using the
emacs-snapshot-gtk package from Debian, version 1:20070302-1, but
apparently the fonts are not found:

$ emacs-snapshot-gtk -fn 'Monospace-10'
No fonts match `Monospace-10'
$

I can select Monospace, size 10 from the Gnome font selecting dialogs.
What would be the corrent font name to use?

Thanks,

Tamas

Emacs 22 doesn't support antialiased fonts, but there's a CVS branch
which does.  This branch will be merged into the trunk anytime soon.
