gdkxft (or, take two on AA text for GTK 1.2.X).

[jg pa dec com (Jim Gettys)]

Anyone play with this?  Seems to work without requiring source changes to
GTK.  AA text on the iPAQ beats the old stuff hands down, as you tend
to be looking at the screen from a smaller distance than usual, and
it is an LCD.

See:

Or am I better off playing with the patches that are floating around?

Also note the comments that say that some GTK widgets are drawing themselves
twice, which is generally considered a bug :-).
