Hello,
My Debian and Ubuntu boxes do not display the default antialiased Bitstream
font within emacs. I am not sure but I think my mzndrake box used to do that.
I have put those lines in my .emacs
(defvar veramono "-bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*")
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist (cons 'font veramono))
The font does change but it is not antialiased as is my mail client and my
gnome-terminal.
I have googled the matter and it appears that emacs cannot display antialiased
font.
Questions :
Is it true?
I don't get it, why gnome-terminal can do it and emacs can't?
Who antialiases font?
What does it takes to make a gtk-aware emacs à la gvim?
What process are involved xfs, defoma, Xorg/XFree86?
Any explanation, link, google keyword will be appreciated.
Good day.
PS : what are the goals of this ng compared to the one called comp.emacs ?
