+＠unnumberedsubsec Q5.0.7: How can I use antialiased fonts under X11?
+
+For this you need a recent beta version, and please consider the caveats
+that apply when using beta software from any source. Rebuild xemacs
+using at least the following options to configure:
+
+(a)samp{./configure --enable-mule --with-xft=emacs,menubars}
+
+For further details on the XEmacs widgets that support XFT, see the
+output of ＠code{./configure --help}. You may find that you have to
+install some lib[something]-dev packages to provide header files; see
+your packaging system's documentation. Depending on your platform, your
+packaging system will normally be something like RPM, ＠code{apt} or
+DarwinPorts.
+
+To specify a particular antialiased font, put something like the
+following lines in your ＠file{~/.Xdefaults} or ＠file{~.Xresources}
+(using ＠code{#define} in ＠file{.Xresources} avoids boring hand
+substitution):
+
+＠example
+#define MONO Mono
+#define SANS Sans
+#define PTSIZEM 12
+#define PTSIZES 11
+ XEmacs.default.attributeFont: MONO:size=PTSIZEM
+ XEmacs.bold.attributeFont: MONO:size=PTSIZEM:style=Bold
+ XEmacs.italic.attributeFont: MONO:size=PTSIZEM:style=Oblique
+XEmacs.bold-italic.attributeFont: MONO:size=PTSIZEM:style=Bold Oblique
+ XEmacs.modeline.attributeFont: SANS:size=PTSIZES
+ XEmacs.menubar.font: SANS:size=PTSIZES
+ XEmacs*xftFont: SANS:size=PTSIZES
+＠end example
+
+And run ＠code{xrdb -merge} before starting the new, XFT-enabled xemacs.
+You can choose the available fonts from the list given by
+＠code{fc-list}; try ＠code{xfd -fa FONTNAME-SIZE} to preview a given font.
