Re: Xft

on 06/18/2008 10:47 AM Hans de Graaff said the following: XEmacs without anti-aliased fonts looks horrendously ugly, IMHO, and I can't think of an application that doesn't use anti-aliased fonts. Maybe vi? (OK, OK, cheap shot, I retract the slur.) I use Xft all the time, and have done so with both 21.4 and 21.5, but I use non-standard configure options: $ ./configure \ --with-xft=emacs,menubars,tabs,gauges \ --with-gnome \ --with-mule=no \ --with-package-path=/usr/local/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages Note (unless these have been fixed): "--with-xft=yes" does not do the same as what I use even though it appears to, and "--with-gtk" doesn't do anything, which is why I haven't included it. A caveat: Although I get anti-aliased fonts with the above, I don't always get the fonts I specify. Bold fonts, in particular, are problematic, and show up larger than they should. --- Vladimir -- Vladimir G.
