Sorry, i meant font-smoothing, the think which can be configured in gnome
with Appearance Preferences in Font Rendering Details, seems like currently
"Grayscale" smoothing is used.

Currently, in /etc/X11/Xresources i have :

Xft.hintstyle: hintslight
Xft.hinting: true
Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault


What to set for smoothing ?

Xft.smoothing: subpixel ?





Regards,

D.
