We had a patch to make them work in xforms, but it needed to be rewritten in proper C++, and this never got done. And antialiased fonts are not a panacea: you need to have good fonts and a good rasterizer. The former is only possible with the microsoft free fonts, which have been withdrawn; and the later requires to enable the bytecode interpreter of freetype (the PS rasterizer is just ugly) and this causes problems with patents held by apple. So I really think that the font situation under linux is not so good. JMarc
