To make myself look even *more* stupid, I didn't even have AA enabled on my home machine. And when I turned it on, I remebered why: it doesn't work with my xinerama setup.

Well, I noticed a slight delay when I added 1100 fonts to my home machine, but I had to pay attention to notice it (after enabling xftcache). So now that I'm not affected by it personally, you don't need to work on it. *grin* Thanks again. - -- D.A.Bishop -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE742L5KEJ4huP2XBERAmVxAKDOXAiMvyPYQLuQIP1UTWEonYm+7ACgvguy g1dSgXLS5T58Fxvi6yjtsBc= =GdZO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Render mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/render
