Hi,

I just shifted to a new HDD, and this time, installed only Sawfish as
my desktop. Now the problem is that apps like MozillaFirebird and
Ayttm that used to show pretty smooth (probably not antialiased) fonts
appear very jagged on my new desktop.

I am sure that the same fonts are installed on both, the old and new
desktop, and the "freetype" module is enabled in X. I've never run
xfstt or any of its cousins, since modules work well with X.

I do get proper antialiased fonts with the xft version of
MozillaFirebird, but that won't work with Ayttm. What is it that I am
missing between the earlier setup and the new setup?

One reason might be that in the earlier setup with GNOME, the gdk
script had GDK_USE_XFT=1 set in it ... where do I do this now? I
am not running GNOME, but both MozillaFirebird and Ayttm are most
probably using GDK underneath ...

Sameer.
