False.. The gtk2 port is orthogonal to Xft use, since Mozilla gtk2 port doesn't use pango.. But Xft2 support is being developped for Mozilla now too... > Yup, found this out in a different post and it helps a lot (I have the plf > package).

Because we are in version freeze now and its internal API has changed (it would have required at least recompiling pango and maybe other packages).. And it is not bug free either :(( -- Fr�d�ric Crozat MandrakeSoft
