Happy New Year!

I've just checked the problem with the latest snapshot and it's still
here. Here are the relevant customizations:

from .emacs:

(custom-set-faces
  ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
  ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
  ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
 '(fixed-pitch ((t (:family "DejaVu Sans Mono"))))
 '(variable-pitch ((t (:family "DejaVu Sans")))))

from .Xresources:

emacs*fontBackend: xft
emacs*font: DejaVu Sans Mono-11
emacs*toolBar: off

Note that the tooltip face is by default inherited from the variable-
pitch face. The variable-pitch face is drawn antialiased in the emacs
frame, but not in the tool tips. Also, if I remove the inheritance,
the tool tips become antialiased.

Hope it will help to track down the problem,
