RE: TT Fonts....

So to get gnome2 finally working (gnome-session always segfault due to pango and problems with xft fonts, bug 70351) i have to install xft fonts properly or can be properly installed and crash by other reasons? (there aren't any xftcache file so i can't delete it BTW) 

BTW is everybody using debian here with xfree86 4.2? because it keeps complaining about a bug at xrender if i activate gdk_use_xft using the unstable version of xfree86 (4.1-0.16)
