So we have 2 totally different opinion of it, I suppose!
I mean: I can obviously disable anti-alias font, yes... I can do it of course.
But can you imagine, at the current status, how many users in the world will
install Linux and will find something really unusable? I suggest to leave
this option OFF till we know that anti-alias really REALLY works for
everybody, or there will be a downstep! I don't mind that users who wish to
try Linux wanna go through internet searching for any unuseful information
about setting up any good font!
Was't Mandrake "the best distribution" for beginners?!?
So we should choose between
1. Make antialiased font REALLY working for ALL users
2. Disable antialiased font by default.
This is what I think, even if I can manually set it by my hands of course! ;p
