Package: mlterm
Version: 2.9.3-5
Severity: minor

The mlterm manpage for '-A, --aa' notes,

  Use anti-aliased fonts. This option works only with Xft for now.  The default 
is false.

while in fact I'm seeing this enabled by default.  One can easily test
whether this is enabled or not via the usage of the 'use_anti_alias' in
one's ~/.mlterm/main file.  When that option is commented out (ie. using
default settings) the ~/.mlterm/font files isn't probed.  If on the other
hand that value is forced to be off (ie. "use_anti_alias=false") the font
file is accessed (in ~/.mlterm/font add "ISO10646_UCS4_1 = fake_font" and
you'll see a complaint).

After a bit of probing, I do see that debian's configuration forces this
behvior in /etc/mlterm/main which is a bit confusing (with regard to the
manpage).

Do please either correct the default behavior and/or augment the manpage;
the /usr/share/doc/mlterm/README.Debian doesn't note any of these forced
settings - it would be ideal to add a "Different from true default" section
in the README.Debian files as well.

Thanks.
