I tried the 0.9.9 download for linux, and the debug option mentioned in the instructions clearly indicate that truetype support was not enabled in 0.9.9 for linux. Then I donwloaded the nightly from the same date (march 11th), which stated truetype fonts was supported. It doesn't give too nice rendering yet though. I have been unable to get cleartype style subpixel antialiasing to work (will probably work with the Xft patch), and the fonts rendered by the freetype renderer looks much thicker than fonts rendered by the x font server (I use TT fonts from windows). -- -Torgeir
