The software you speak about is gdk-xft, which was a horrid hack that was completely unsupported. At one time it existed in the tree, but had been hard masked for over a year when I still recieved bugs about it. At that time it was forcibly removed and anyone thats dumb enough to install it from the cvstree (Attic) or other place deserve whats coming for them. ; -) //Spider -- begin .signature Tortured users / Laughing in pain See Microsoft KB Article Q265230 for more information. end
