Hey all...
I've tried everything to get Mozilla to render anti-aliased fonts, but nothing works. I've searched these forums over and over, but nothing works. Here are the relevant settings:

/usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref/unix.js
Code:

// TrueType
pref("font.FreeType2.enable", true);
pref("font.FreeType2.shared-library", "libfreetype.so.6");
// if libfreetype was built without hinting compiled in
// it is best to leave hinting off
pref("font.FreeType2.autohinted", false);
pref("font.FreeType2.unhinted", false);


/etc/X11/XftConfig
Code:

match
        any size > 0
        any size < 16
edit
        antialias = false;

match edit rgb = vrgb;


/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/XftConfig
Code:

match
    any size > 8
    any size < 14
  edit
    antialias = false;

match
  any pixelsize > 8
  any pixelsize < 14
edit
  antialias = false;


If anyone has any idea what might be going wrong, I'd appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

Perhaps mozilla was compiled on your system without freetype support.

Nope- I just ensured that freetype was in my USES var this morning and re-emerged Moz.

Set in Mozilla's look and feel pref. to use your fonts. If your WM uses anti-aliased fonts, this will allways work.

Well, I'm officially and idiot - I had freetype in my USES var, then remembered that the correct var is "freetype2." Well, anyway, I hope that was the problem... However, the AA is Mozilla seems very slight- there're still many jagged curves. (Actually, I think this is only with certain fonts, which may not be able to be smoothed.) In GNOME and KDE, however, nearly all fonts look excellent. Also, how would I get the same rendering in Galeon?

Re-emerge galeon after mozilla's anti-aliasing begins to work.

No such luck, AutoBot... I thought re-emerging Galeon would do it, but it had no effect. Oh well, I'm content to use plain old Mozilla anyway, though I would be interested if anyone has any other suggestions. Update: I fixed the problem by copying my font settings (specifically the names) from Mozilla's prefs.js to Galeon's. Galeon's font selector (the usual GTK deal) doesn't seem to be as flexible as Mozilla's. Thanks.

moz's aa needs to be tweaked a little to look good.
here's my unix.js, and a shot of what it looks like

I thought the correct use for freetype was 'truetype'. ??
