It's entirely possible...One of the reasons the X maintainer has been producing static libs for Xft and Xrender is becuase it's still a work in progress. This is changing now that QT uses it. The developers doing this work on X now have something to work on...instead of being a feature that someone could use in the future...its a feature currently in use...and extremly popular to boot. I' have read on the kde lists that there are some drivers that do not support Xft properly currently...especially non-X drivers...(nvidia for example..the X nvidia drivers support it..but the nvidia enhanced ones by nvidia don't...or something like that).... All of this is yet another reason why QT does not enable Xft support by default. KDE turns it on by default...we saw that when I first uploaded all the AA enabled stuff...I've since turned it off by default. Starting with the 4.0.3 release of X we will see shared versions of Xft and Xrender which will be nice... Ivan -- ---------------- Ivan E.
