Re: Fonts in Gnome 2.0 Alpha

[Chris Chabot <chabotc reviewboard com>]

Browsing the gtk 1.3 lists, i see it is a 'known gtk 1.3 problem' (no 
solutions yet). However it is interesting to note that whithout AA, the 
ttf fonts are shown (though with the 'Cannot load font for XLFD '-font 
string-' error), and with AA enabled, the TTF fonts are not shown...

Anyways had this problem and know how to fix this?
