Apparently, there were two Xft downloads available from ftp.mozilla.org
on Friday.  If you got there early on Friday, you got a set of RPMs that
didn't enable Xft.

On the other hand, if you downloaded them on Saturday, then you got a
set of RPMs that did enable Xft.

This probably explains why some people see AA text and others do not. 
The set of RPMs that actually do enable Xft are timestamped at four
minutes before midnight on Friday.  Once installed, you don't have to
edit any files at all.  They just work, right out of the box.
