My understanding of the situation is that doing this would entail modifying Emacs's rendering engine to use something that did antialiasing. If I was going to bet, I'd bet that XEmacs successfully did this before FSF Emacs. But both Emacsen have historically been against prebuilt widget kits; the easiest way to get antialiased text from a programmer's point of view is to build your program as either a GNOME (2) or KDE program, and Emacs is explicitly neither. > I am not sure about anti aliased, but try moving the type1 fonts to > the bottom of the fontpath list in XF86Config and if you have > truetype fonts move them to the top.

In my setup I've actually gone out of my way to use Type 1 fonts and been happy with the results. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
