Hi folks, I had troubles with improper window embedding in firefox, so I decided to upgrade my dusty private branch of ion to 20060305. Get it at http://clemens.endorphin.org/weblog/archives/2006-03.shtml#e2006-03-12T12_02_42.txt
There are a few changes concerning XFT support. First, the seperate draw engine code of xftde was merged back into the regular de. XFT is now a compile type option to configure (enabled by default) and about 40 #ifdefs embedded in the de/ source files. The consequence for you is that you do not have to rewrite your look configuration to refer to xftde. So, it's "de.defstyle" again, instead of the old "xftde.defstyle". This is pretty neat as XFT also understands X11 font specifiers and so your old configuration will work right out of the box, but now with proper XFT rendering beauty. To use XFT font specifier, prepend "xft:". For instance, "xft: Sans-10:weight=bold". A sample config using XFT font specifiers is at http://clemens.endorphin.org/patches/look_cleanios-xft.lua It's using "Sans" as font, which maps -- on most systems -- to the pleasing Vera font of Bitstream. My branch also contains my key synthesizer patch, see http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.window-managers.ion.general/6473 There is also a semi-tested ebuild available for Gentoo, get it at http://clemens.endorphin.org/patches/ion3-therp-ebuild.tar.bz2 Have fun, -- Fruhwirth Clemens - http://clemens.endorphin.org for robots: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
