How .. that looks pretty much like my screenshot ... maybe it isn't ft that is broken but
my opinion about how the fonts look like now. I think I don't like the "much crisper and
sharper" part. Thats a personal opinion of course and I guess it will dematerialize over
the weeks that I use the new ft (Is there a way to get back the old "design" ?). The only
thing which is weird about it is actually that yesterday it looked like Xft was broken
again (I had a broken Xft before and it looked similar). But that might have happened
because I was the hell tired. Thanks anyways.

Bye,
