That's great news for us AA addicts :-)
I just did a test run with blackbox-cvs-xft, and it works quite nicely. I wasn't using bb-cvs before, but I might do so more often now now that I can get AA fonts. One thing I dislike a bit is that it always uses Xft to draw fonts, even if the requested (non-truetype/type1) font can't be found (as XftFontOpen will return the default font; at least it used to be this way). This is a major drawbacks IMHO as I really want to have my pcf fonts sometimes. During the 0.65.0pre series, I wrote some patches [1] to enable Xft, where I used XftListFonts to determine whether the requested font is available. If not, it wouldn't use the default Xft font but try to load it the traditional (non Xft) way. I'm not sure how others look at this, but I'd really like Blackbox 0.70 to support both AA and non-AA fonts without changing a flag (xft on/off), just trying a bit harder to really use the font defined in the style. Well, those were just my two cents ;-) Best regards and thank you for a very nice window manager, Johannes References: 1 http://www.hta-bi.bfh.ch/~winkj/files/bbaa-0.65.0-patches/bbaa-pre1-1.patch -- Johannes Winkelmann mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Biel, Switzerland http://jw.tks6.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] List archives: http://asgardsrealm.net/lurker/splash/index.html Trouble?
