If it is like the non-RH mozilla-xft builds, you have to configure it
separately for AA.
Look for /usr/lib/mozilla-*/defaults/pref/unix.js:
// TrueType ///////////////////////////////////////////
pref("font.FreeType2.enable", true);
pref("font.freetype2.shared-library", "libfreetype.so.6");
// if libfreetype was built without hinting compiled in
// it is best to leave hinting off. try it both ways to see.
pref("font.FreeType2.autohinted", true);
pref("font.FreeType2.unhinted", false);
// below a certian pixel size anti-aliased fonts produce poor results
pref("font.antialias.min", 10);
pref("font.embedded_bitmaps.max", 1000000);
pref("font.scale.tt_bitmap.dark_text.min", 64);
pref("font.scale.tt_bitmap.dark_text.gain", "0.8");
// sample prefs for TrueType font dirs
//pref("font.directory.truetype.1", "/u/sam/tt_font");
//pref("font.directory.truetype.2", "/u/sam/other/tt_font");
pref("font.directory.truetype.1", "/usr/share/fonts/truetype");
Look for that section, and season to taste. You do have to turn it on,
and tell it where the fonts are at a minimum. You then have to select
the appropriate fonts in the Mozilla appearance/fonts configuration
using the ones that are upper cased. Again, assuming it is like the
standard builds. There is no click and go feature AFAIK. There is
still some small glimmer of hope, I guess. Hinting made a big
difference here too.
