It's app/toolkit specific. E.g. with xterm you can enable it with -fa and related options. > Is it a fontcontig and Xft, or is it a either fontcontig or Xft? It's mainly about Xft. Most users of that also use fontconfig for selecting the fonts to use, but that's not required. Most apps/toolkits have used the modern text rendering infrastructure by default for a long time, but a lot of terminal emulators are still holding out for some reason. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://www.amd.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
