Hi,

 Yesterday I've decided to try out freetype2, fontconfig and co. instead of 
the standard xft (xft1) that came with X 4.2.0 and I got an aliased desktop. 
:-( The font I use is Arial, and I have reinstalled all TTF fonts after 
installing the new font engines. I've also removed the old xft stuff (headers 
and libraries) and the libXft.so links to libXft.so.2. I used the code from 
the Xft and fontconfig dir of the fcpackage.2_0. There were no compilation 
problems, QT said that Xft is available. I see it "working", meaning by this 
that the duplicate font names (with [Monotype], [Utf] ending) have 
disappeared, and Xftconfig is not used anymore (I know this, because I had an 
error in that which was printed out on every application's startup), but it 
is ugly. How can it get to work correctly? I don't really like the idea to 
switch back to XFT1, once I installed the XFT2...

Any idea?

Andras
