I think you may have misread the article. For example:

"I had heard that the new version of emacs (22) provided anti-aliased
fonts, but apparently I was mistaken."

"After making emacs from the cvs sources, it reports its version as
23.0.60.2."

In other words, I ended up building Emacs 23 to get nice fonts.

Of course, since that article, I've switched to Mac OSX as my primary
dev environment, so I just installed Carbon Emacs and everything works
fine :) I love Linux, but the time savings I get with OSX easily pays
for the additional cost for Mac hardware and OSX, so my use of Linux
is for servers only now.
