With both versions, the one available in Sid, and the other built with qt-copy/debian. Bitmap fonts are not being replaces by truetype fonts (i.e. Helvetica -> Arial).
The following fonts.conf rule is not applied: <match target="pattern"> <test name="prefer_outline"> <bool>true</bool> </test> <test name="family"> <string>Helvetica</string> </test> <edit name="family" mode="prepend" binding="same"> <string>Arial</string> </edit> </match> I didn't toch any fontconfig/freetype configuration. I just realised it. For example check at http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/61/32619.html (the title of the article is not antialiased). With a xset -fp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/ the text is shown antialiased again. But this didn't happen few days before. Again, I'm not sure when this was broken, but I'm sure with 3.1 it worked fine. Regards, -- ricardo galli GPG id C8114D34 http://mnm.uib.es/~gallir/
