Hmm... I don't use ati-aliasing (I hate it) so
I've no idea how to configure xrender. However, if
you could send me some details - such as a copy
of your config file, where the file is located,
what options there are, etc., then I'll add 
support.

I had thought about this - but I thought I'd wait
until after a first release. The way I was going
to do this was to just remove entries from the X
config file - so it would not look into the
fonts' directory, and then later it coudl be
re-added.
