Hi, I'm trying to wrap my head around the XFT font system and I think I'm getting some sort of clue. My problem at the moment is that I want to shut off anti-aliasing for all xft based applications on a terminal by terminal basis. In other words, I want to write a shell script that uses xdpyinfo to determine display depth and resolution, and then turn off anti-aliasing if my script determines the display is suboptimal. I've run across the GDK_USE_XFT=0 environment variable which has a remarkably unpredictable affect on GTK applications, but that switches the app between XFT and server-side fonts which isn't what I want. Thoughts, opinions, off topic rants?
