There is no mystery. Antialias is possible _only_ with Type1 and TrueType fonts. So, if you have antialias on, you can use only type1 and truetype fonts in apps what are using antialias. Xft (which provides antialias) is completely different mechanism to give fonts to the apps by X and is not related standard X/xfs methods. regards, Hasso Tepper KDE Estonian Team
