As I mentioned previously, I am running redhat 7.3 / KDE 3.0.  I
installed their distro and I don't know how it is supposed to work.
It is running a font server and apparently the magic happens there
rather than in the X server itself.  I have no clue how xft is
supposed to fit in there.  All I know is that I managed to get Arial
and Verdana antialiasing just fine after some fiddling in XftConfig,
but that the Luxi fonts just won't play along no matter what.  The
freetype rpms on my system are:

freetype-2.0.9-2
freetype-devel-2.0.9-2

How is it possible that some truetype fonts get antialiased and others
not?

Cheers,
