But on a more serious note, AA fonts shouldn't take *that* much tweaking... Usually it's just a quick fix or an out-of-the-box love.
Well normally they dont. Gnome users can just fire up the gnome-font-
properties and change the AA settings. For more detailed rules, one needs to mess with fontconfig. But since many people use GTK2 apps like evo, gaim, and xchat without gnome, it can be difficult to help fix.
As for myself, i never messed with any configs. Using bitstream-vera fonts and default configs and loving it.
