How do you log on or start X? I use the graphical log-in screen of kdm. I don't use ~/.Xresources at all (nor ~/.xinitrc or ~/.xsession) and my Xft options get set to exactly what I would expect from the contents of my ~/.fonts.conf: $ xrdb -query | grep Xft Xft.antialias: 1 Xft.hinting: 1 Xft.hintstyle: hintfull Do you have any references to Xft in files in /etc/X11/Xresources or /etc/X11/Xsession.d? -- Regards, Florian
