Did that change? >From http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2003-09/msg00441.html : Additionally, I have disabled the experimental Xft support for antialiased fonts using freetype/fontconfig that was enabled by default in this release. For details about this choice, see: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2003-09/msg00348.html Feedback about this issue is welcomed and should be directed to the cygwin-xfree mailing list mentioned at the end of this announcement. And: Changes: * configure.in (AC_FIND_XFT): Disable Keith Packard's experimental Xft support.
