I think this is a little optimistic -- for many applications (particularly terminal windows and on small displays), bitmap fonts still look significantly better than FreeType-rendered outline fonts. Perhaps it might be worth considering putting some rules in the default config to use the bitmap versions of Helvetica, Courier etc. when non-antialiased rendering is requested? Also, XFree86 doesn't currently ship any outline fonts with decent Unicode coverage, so it's useful to have the fixed and ClearlyU fonts available to fontconfig-using applications. -- Adam Sampson <azz@xxxxxxxxxx> <http://azz.us-lot.org/>
