Ach, I didn't mean to start another "performance vs feature" war, I
swear. Said this, may I ask:
1) How to find fast on an RH 8.0 box which apps don't use XFT2
(because, like xterm, depend from toolkits not supporting
it yet) ; actually, this is the subject of the other
message I sent today, check the list
2) Where can I find {if, when, why} will be possible to have
versions of the lean and mean GUI apps (ex: xterm vs
Konsole or the other) that, don't force to keep on board
two sets of font config systems and what not?
3) Because, if I understand correctly, xterm *is* indeed one
of the pieces in psyche which couldn't care less of Xft2,
is it?
TIA,
Marco Fioretti
