Dear All: XFree86 can use two different front-ends of freetype library: XTT and xfsft(XFT). Each one has some advantages and disadvantages. XTT can display perfect Chinese (CJK) font when the font number < 15 but it is crap for >16 truetype font display. In contrast, when font number < 15, XFT rendered very blur font display but it is much better than XTT while font number >16. MS windows Chinese version seems applying two different render strategies. Open a word document and write some Chinese. When you adjust the font number from 13 to 20, you will find there is a huge difference between font number 18 and 19 (anti-alias opened ). For the truetype fonts < 18, wins look using a method like XTT and a simliar XFT method applies for the large font( >19) Have XFree86 implemented this way? I mean that XFree86 could select XTT or xfsft(XFT) render methods by font number? I think this is an very important feature for CJK users.
