Hi, I found a way to make Xft's subpixel rendering look better. Well... I think it looks better. It's described here: http://people.brandeis.edu/~jcoiner/subpixel/Xft_subpixel_rendering_patch.html#patch This patch applies to the Xft that comes with Xorg 6.8.2 ... if there's interest, I'll re-base the patch off of a newer version of Xft. Thanks. -- John
