I suspect he means this (from my .fonts.conf): ~/Library/Fonts rgb true The uncommented entries are the most significant, as they enable antialiased fonts instead of bitmaps. Linux distributions usually enable these by default, but last time I looked in /opt/local/etc/ fonts.conf it was disabled.

Maybe you should ask whoever you heard this from. If you can't specify a particular technical difference, I doubt anybody can point you to the right setting even if it exists.

Well, maybe you should start by explaining what exactly the difference is.
