Hi, I found a way to make Xft''s subpixel rendering look better. Well... I think it looks better. It''s described here: http://people.brandeis.edu/~jcoiner/subpixel/Xft_subpixel_rendering_patch.html#patch This patch applies to the Xft that comes with Xorg 6.8.2 ... if there''s interest, I''ll re-base the patch off of a newer version of Xft. Thanks. -- John
