What font do you people use for an Xft-enabled XEmacs? How do you set
it?
as i cannot resist for a long time some artifacts that xft-xemacs
displays, i have a script to temporarily set resources for xft-xemacs
only, and revert to boring xemacs' ones when xft-xemacs is running
the different sizes i use are, afaict, due to a glitch against which i
filed a bug report, god and archives only remember the details...

I have something like this normally set in .Xresources:
XEmacs.default.attributeFont: -xos4-Terminus-Medium-R-Normal-[....]
nice font
What would be the best replacement for Xft?
had you asked "... the _only_ replacement ..." i'd reply bistream
vera, but i have not an answer to your question...
