Still no AA fonts

[Bas Leerintveld <bas leerintveld demon nl>]

Hi,

I've searched this list a bit and found quite a few people having the same problem as I have: no AA fonts in garnome.

Usually, these people are told to:

- export GDK_USE_XFT
- check if the RENDER extension loads
- check their XftConfig

I've done all that but still have no AA fonts. As a screenshot at http://www.leerintveld.demon.nl/zooi/fonterror.jpg shows, AA fonts DO work in an xterm.

At first I thought it was a problem with libfreetype because xterm used /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.so.6.2 and the GNOME apps /opt/gnome2/lib/libfreetype.so.6.3.0, so I moved the X11R6 freetype libs and made sure xterm was using the GNOME one:

# ldd `which xterm`
libfreetype.so.6 => /opt/gnome2/lib/libfreetype.so.6 (0x40050000)

No results. I still had AA fonts in xterm. :-(

My guess is now that it's because of libXrender, sice xterm is using it, and the GNOME apps are not ;-)

]# ldd /opt/gnome2/bin/gnome-panel | grep render
]#

]# ldd /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm | grep render
libXrender.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXrender.so.1 (0x40090000)

So my question is, does this make any sense? And, if it does, how I do I compile garnome correctly?

All this on a LFS box with libtool 1.4d, gcc 2.95.3, XFree86 4.2 and garnome 0.12.

Best regards and thanks in advance,
