Well, I just added drakfont to XftConfig assuming the fonts are the same. I
even tried to remove everything except drakfont and fixed from xfs config and
still get this font.

Hmm ... partially. Just interested, what font is used for fixed-width? I set
it to 'Courier New' (famous windows). Also, what is the minimal font size?
With 10 fonts sometimes are too small and with 11 overall they look too large
for me.

I'll give it a try.

I meant qt development team actually. I referred to my old question about AA
patch for Qt in cooker and response that it was rejected being "too alpha".

Could you please list (some of) fonts you've selected? also, what is the
relation between XftConfig and xfs? Should they use the same font directories?
