The idea is that you need separate style files for different drawing engines. > PS: Tuomo, you are writing in the FAQ: > > --- > 2.10 Does Ion support anti-aliased fonts/Xft? > > No. Anti-aliasing is extremely ugly and the default drawing engine will > not support such a thing.

(It's just code in Xlib that doesn't handle it properly, nothing is inherently broken.) Hmmm... actually, now that I think of it, I think I infact got a message few months ago suggesting that it might have been fixed, but I never got around to trying. Antialias support useless, and all this subpixel stuff is self-defeating bullshit too. The only way screens can convey that information in a non-ugly manner is for the resolution to be so big that you can't pinpoint individual pixels without a magnifier, and this defeats the purpose of these ugly kludges. > So I really hope the xftde gets official support ;) "Official support" is euphemism for "Tuomo maintains the code", which is not going to happen. -- Tuomo
