GDK_USE_XFT should not be referred to as "enable AA fonts" - that
isn't what it does, it enables the Xft backend. Which allows you to
then enable AA fonts, or not. The main point about GDK_USE_XFT is that
it moves us onto our new font architecture, and eventually we are
dropping the old core X architecture.
