>Description:
XftConfig is in /etc/X11 and /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XftConfig.
The file in /etc/X11 seems to be ignored by all applications.

[0.61] hscholz@deimos:~ > pkg_info -W /etc/X11/XftConfig
/etc/X11/XftConfig was installed by package XFree86-4.2.0_1
[0.56] hscholz@deimos:~ > pkg_info -W /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XftConfig 
pkg_info: both XFree86-4.2.0_1 and XFree86-libraries-4.1.0_1 claim to have installed /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XftConfig

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XftConfig was installed by package XFree86-4.2.0_1

note: I removed the file in /usr/X11R6 and created a symlink to the file in /etc/X11.


>How-To-Repeat:
$ locate XftConfig

Changes in /etc/X11/XftConfig are ignored.
>Fix:
Remove one file and create a link to the other file. As /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 is already populated with links this might be the place for the symlink.

btw: I created a XftConfig so anti aliased fonts work in xterms. I have to
clean the file up but it might be nice to have such a file in the X distribution as an example.
