Hi,

I just shifted to a new HDD, and this time, installed only Sawfish as my desktop. Now the problem is that apps like MozillaFirebird and Ayttm that used to show pretty smooth (probably not antialiased) fonts appear very jagged on my new desktop.

I am sure that the same fonts are installed on both, the old and new desktop, and the "freetype" module is enabled in X. I've never run xfstt or any of its cousins, since modules work well with X.

I do get proper antialiased fonts with the xft version of MozillaFirebird, but that won't work with Ayttm. What is it that I am missing between the earlier setup and the new setup?

One reason might be that in the earlier setup with GNOME, the gdk script had GDK_USE_XFT=1 set in it ... where do I do this now? I am not running GNOME, but both MozillaFirebird and Ayttm are most probably using GDK underneath ...

Sameer.
