Hello,

I've been trying to figure out why I can't enable sub-pixel antialiasing with 
my Radeon card in XFree86 4.2.0 (actually the DRI CVS branch), and I've now 
concluded that it's because no XFT configuration files are ever being read.

I have the file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XftConfig with a bunch of font directories 
and match settings listed, including the line "match edit rgba = rgb;" to 
enable sub-pixel antialiasing.  That line didn't seem to have any effect (nor 
did changing it to bgr, vrgb, or vbgr).  So I also added the line "match edit 
antialias = false;" to the file just to see if the file was even being read.  
I then ran "xterm -fa 'lucida console' -fs 10", expecting fonts not to be 
antialiased, but they still were!

So then I tried setting XFT_CONFIG to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XftConfig, but that 
made no difference.  I can't get XFT to use the settings in XftConfig.

Anyone have a clue why XftConfig isn't being used?  Do I have to enable some 
option before compiling XFree86 to say that I want to be able to use an 
XftConfig file?

Thanks,
Paul
