after read the article, i have a question left on my mind: while there
is a tool gnome-font-properties with responsibility of setting default
fonts for gnome applications, what the /etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc do? is there
a confilication or duplication here?

my system running FVWM2, i found it explicitly use helvetic, if, as
said, Slackware 10.1 throw the font away, what do i do? does it means i
should open font.conf and do some font substitution there?

as an article pointed out, the antialiasing was controled by a compile
option of freetype2. please check the article:
http://brendan.sdf-eu.org/articles/a...sing_slack.php

i'v followed the article and turn on the option before a reinstallation
of freetype. today, when read your post, i found, as you said,
font.conf also play a role in turning on/turning off the antialiasing.
so this has me a little confusing, which one will take the dominate?
especially please consider the situation that i turn the option in the
freetype and turn off the antialising in the font.conf, what would be
the finally result? antialiasing or non-antialiasing?
