Is libgdkxft from gnome 1.4 loaded? Shouldn't be. Likewise gdkxft-capplet Here (sarge), XF86Config-4 file contains /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType, XftConfig contains /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType, and /usr/share/fonts/truetype. Module for X is freetype. The libfreetype in sarge and sid is now compiled with bytecode interpreter disabled, which gives worse quality. If you want it enabled, recompile it (package freetype_2.1.2-9 in sarge) with "use_bytecode = yes" set in freetype_2.1.2/debian/rules. But it works in any case. Install anti-aliasing-howto which will pull in all needed packages. Also, a working XftConfig example is put into /usr/doc/anti-aliasing-howto. Set "export GDK_USE_XFT=1" (bash syntax) in the script you use to login (.xinitrc, .xsession or /etc/gdm/Sessions/<name>). That should do it (check that you haven't exluded the font sizes you use in XftConfig). Hope I haven't forgotten anything, regards, M.
