freebsd stable - Feb 2006 - Uninstalled all X stuff, still no mozilla

How come it is so impossible to make mozilla work with Xft?

I uninstalled everything that involves X on my home machine,
running 4.8-RC, deleted what was left in /usr/X11R6 and remaining
graphical stuff in /usr/local. Recompiled from scratch. But still
mozilla dies after having worked on disk for almost a minute,
leaving only one line saying "killed".

In /var/log/messages there is a message saying:
Mar 24 05:53:39 <kern.crit> enigma /kernel: swap_pager: out of swap space
Mar 24 05:53:41 <kern.crit> enigma /kernel: swap_pager_getswapspace:
failed
Mar 24 05:53:41 <kern.err> enigma /kernel: pid 67777 (mozilla-bin), uid
1001, was killed: out of swap space

but no other applications are running except for Windowmaker and
swapinfo gives:

[gunnar@enigma gunnar]$ swapinfo
Device          1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Type
/dev/rad0s2b       130944    31020    99924    24%    Interleaved

Anyone having some kind of explanation? Graphic card is
Matrox G200, so there's nothing new and exclusvive there.

What more info do you need to draw any conclusions?

Actually when uninstalling everything having to do with X, and reinstall
it all, I forgot to install webfonts and mozillafonts. It is running
now but with worse fonts than I've ever seen. It definitively is not
"anti-aliased" even though it is compiled with Xft2 support now.

And for all the things in the FAQ, I've followed this list since the
mozilla Xft thing started and tried all things you suugest, except
for the total de/reinstall of everything XFree86 related.

I guess I'll have to live with the horrible fonts in mozilla. It WAS
much better though before this Xft-thread started :(
