If you want fixed, unantialiased fonts, build without Xft, use bitmap fonts, and you will have no problems. Which is reported incorrectly by Xft. The error depends on the screen geometry (dpi, at least) position on the screen, and the size and family of the font; it may also depend on attributes like weight and slant. We lose. I just tried Abiword for first time in a while; it suffers from similar artifacts. I believe that this is a hard problem; I'd be very pleased if someone would prove me wrong, but I can't afford the time right now. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
