I use a similar .fonts.conf (and before that, I used a similar .xftconfig with the old syntax) to turn off antialiasing for a specific size-range, and when I use "size", seemingly random fonts in random applications are not matched (in some applications, for instance kmail, the same font at the same size is rendered antialiased in one widget, and unantialiased in another!). -- Regards, Michael Nottebrock [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQA+eL/BXhc68WspdLARAuBLAJ9M9sUoMrmJINGJJRE2Gtm6x6btHgCgngh5 ZRye/BgIjbzul2pFBmISadM= =0yIy -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
