I actually do have the freetype and type1 modules loaded.  I should have mentioned that.

To set USE_GDK_XFT to 1, I'm using 'setenv USE_GDK_XFT 1' from the command line.  Once I'm in
GNOME I check to see that USE_GDK_XFT is set to 1 using 'echo $USE_GDK_XFT'.  For my XftConfig
file I am using the one that is included with XFree86, except I have two dir lines: dir
"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1" and dir "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/webfonts"  Are there any other
requirements for the XftConfig file to get antialiased fonts working?

There's no way that my GNOME 2.0 port could have been built without support for antialiased fonts
is there?

Thanks,
James
