Has anyone ever seen antialiased font with Emacs?Me. Many times. First I use TrueType fonts. They get rendered and anti-aliased by the X server.No, the X server does not magically anti-alias TrueType fonts. If you've seen Emacs anti-aliased on X11, I can only think of the following reason: - you ran Emacs inside an anti-aliased text-terminal-emulator.- you tried one of the patches that add support for xft, none of which is in any kind of stable state, AFAIK (tho I haven't tried to xft branch inthe CVS repository recently).
OK, I confess: with X11 I do *not* see antialiased fonts! My xterm is GTK aware (whenever I changed my number of fonts it took minutes until it showed up!). Using the font or on that font based fontset I actually can see differences between both. In xterm I can see that some pixels are not completely dark, in Emacs this never happens, no matter how steep or how round a line is, all pixels are really black.
So there is really only one stable release of GNU Emacs that can anti-alias fonts: Carbon Emacs 22.0.50 from CVS for Mac OS X.
