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?
