hello there.

im using gentoo on a t43p. got the font rendering working, following
the=20
howtos at:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Xorg_and_Fonts
and
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/archived/FDU/

there is really not so much to do, but make sure
your /etc/fonts/local.conf
is set up properly. if your interested, i'll post a copy of my own
version.

it is important you turn subpixel rendering on.

to check if your X server uses subpixel rendering:
> xdpyinfo -ext RENDER | grep sub-pixel
you should see something like:
"Screen 0 (sub-pixel order rgb)"

also, make sure you turn on subpixel rendering in gnome:
choose subpixel smoothing, and go to advanced.
choose subpixel, full, and your lcd striping order (usually rgb).

if you're using kde applications, try setting it in kcontrol also.

cheers,
