Hi! After migrating from: XFree86-4.3 (using included libraries) to: XFree86-4.3.99.10 fontconfig-2.2.90 xrender-0.8.3 xft-2.1.2 I''ve noticed significant loss of font quality. There are two screenshots which demonstrate this: http://michal.waw.pl/worek/X-4.3.png http://michal.waw.pl/worek/X-4.3.99.png Please take a look especially on small, green text on left and right marigins and parts of news in the main part of pages written in italics. I do not use any anti-aliasing as I don''t like it. Is there any way I can improve quality of fonts?
