I just have the Type1 directory in my XftConfig, but things work fine. I also set the variable in my ~/.gnomerc file, and use gdm to start GNOME. You can see an example screenshot at http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/screenshots.html (the last screenshot) for an example of how it should look. > > There's no way that my GNOME 2.0 port could have been built without support for antialiased fonts > is there? Nope. It should be there by default. Perhaps the webfonts thing is screwing things up. Try commenting out that directory.
