Hinting should work well with rgba -- the scaling is done *after* the hints are applied to keep the glyphs pixel aligned. Make sure you're using high-quality TrueType fonts and have the TrueType interpreter built into your version of FreeType2. > Also, is any effort made to correct color fringing? Yes, an empirically designed filter is used to reduce the color fringing effects. For glyphs whose elements are smaller than one pixel, there's not much that can be done; you're just going to have weird artifacts. Larger glyphs have "acceptable" artifacts. It's all a compromise; you can either have better horizontal resolution or less noticeable artifacts. Feel free to play with the filters, you'll find them in lib/Xft/xftglyph.c.
