Hi,
You have two options. If you don't want to have font aliasing at all,
simply unset the GDK_USE_XFT variable. Or, if you want font aliasing,
but only for very big fonts, you could edit /etc/X11/XftConfig, and
change one the "match" section:
# Don't antialias small fonts
#
match
any size < 12
any size > 8
edit antialias=false;
#
# Don't antialias wingding symbols and similar types of symbol fontsets
#
match
any family == "webdings"
edit antialias = false;
encoding += "glyphs-fontspecific";
match
any family == "wingdings"
edit antialias = false;
encoding += "glyphs-fontspecific";
Or you may add those on your own ~/.xftconfig file.
Cheers,
Simon Piette
