*sigh*.  Problem with most things, is that you can never please
everybody.  I have enabled the AA stuff in Moz, but as there is
limited docs, and so on, I also enabled auto-hinting.  Thanks for
this bit of info, Ill fix our ebuild ;-)

Then on another note.  The reason the redhat rpms have better quality,
is becuase they build it static against a CVS version of XFree86 with
the Blizzard Xft patches.  As we build from source, and well, the
CVS Xfree is just that, CVS, we have a problem using the Blizzard
patches.  Mark my word however, as soon as I can get a stable CVS
ebuild, or as soon as XFree-4.3.0 comes out, Ill fix this :)
