The XftConfig file is for the old Xft1, with XFree 4.3, it's obsolete.
Font configuration for Xft is done through /etc/fonts/fonts.conf, that
should normally be set to sane defaults, but you may want to look if
the directory containing your truetype fonts is listed there.

The following is for the devel grimoire:
Also, the xfree spell had the problem that it installed the .pc files in
the wrong directory, look if you have a /usr/lib/pkgconfig/xft.pc, if
not, copy the xft.pc file from /usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig there.

After that you need to recompile qt-x11 so it gets compiled with Xft
support.

The stable grimoire still relies on the seperate Xft2 and Xrender
spells, although those are now included in xfree. You can either cast
Xft2 and recast qt-x11, or copy the xft.pc file as i stated above and
modifiy the qt-x11 BUILD file to add -xft to the configure call.
I would recommend the second option, since the Xft2 Xft1 and Xrender
spells will be removed from the stable grimoire too.

A font server isn't necessary.

xft.pc file appears to be in the correct place. However, your mention of X 
4.3 reminded me, I think I had an old version of the grimoire when I cast 
X, so I have 2.2 installed. I'll install 2.3 and hopefully that will do 
the trick.

So I think I was just behind the times in some packages, but things look 
good now.

What do people think about sub pixel rendering? How do you determine which 
order the pixels are in? The discoloration seems distracting to me, should 
it be noticable? This is supposed to be used on LCDs right?

I had the same problem, but I have a theory on it.  In my case, I compiled my 
network drivers into the kernel (in fact I compiled everything into the 
kernel with no modules) but the configurer wants a module.  I think that the 
default kernel probably did not support my network card (Realtek 8100L) so 
when you are at that point in the install, unless you load a module it will 
not see the network card.  It is only my theory this is the reason it did not 
configure it, and I have yet to get round to testing it, but I think this has 
something to do with it.
Thankfully SGL came with a fully-featured lo.dev and the rc*.d scripts were 
easy to read and understand, so it was pretty simple to copy lo.dev to 
eth0.dev and edit it to get the right config.

Hi!

I'm trying to track a function call in sorcery, 
private_remove_dependees, and something like `cvs annotate' but in 
Perforce would help to find out when and by whom it was coded. I didn't 
find this in the Web interface at http://www.smee.org:8080/ and in `p4 
help commands', so I'm asking here. Help please?
Thanks!

Sergey.
