This is controlled by the environment variable GDK_USE_XFT, should be set to 1 for AA. guess you need to find out where this is / isn't getting set... > 2) in terminals(xterm or gnome-terminal)there are no alias > (l, ll, ... don't work) > 3)no ls coloured output these are the same problem (ls coloured output is provided by aliasing ls to ls <some parameters>), and it's one I have too. I looked into it a bit with some help. These settings are controlled by the script /etc/profile.d/alias.sh , which I think (don't remember my research into this one very well :>) is incorporated into the system-wide bash defaults somehow (one of those script-parsing-individual-files-in-subdirectory systems mandrake seems to like using, I think). I think it was established that on my system these were being set properly but then, for some reason, unset by something else afterwards for some users. (For me, the aliases were set properly for root but not for my normal user adamw). My solution, though it's really a hack since I still haven't diagnosed the root cause, was simply to copy/paste the relevant bits from alias.sh to the section in $HOME/.bashrc which is set aside for user-defined aliases. You could also see if adding 'export GDK_USE_XFT=1' to .bashrc somewhere fixes your anti-aliasing problem, actually... -- adamw
