I'm using emacs22-gtk in Hardy, but want to enable nice fonts. I've played
with a few HOWTOs on the web but without success. I've verified that it's
definitely linked against Xft:

$ ldd /usr/bin/emacs22-gtk | grep Xft
libXft.so.2 => /usr/lib/libXft.so.2 (0xb781c000)

but even when I configure it to use a font like Bitstream Vera Sans Mono,
it's still jagged. Everything seemed to indicate that this was a simple
feature to enable, so I'm a little bit lost here. Any advice?

Install emacs-snapshot-gtk, and look here for how to configure:

Good luck,

Why, though? Shouldn't emacs22-gtk have the same goodies as that article
described, particularly the inclusion of libXft?

To amplify on that, the only linkage differences between emacs22-gtk and
emacs-snapshot-gtk are:

libbz2.so.1.0
libcroco-0.6.so.3
libdbus-1.so.3
libgif.so.4
libgio-2.0.so.0
libgsf-1.so.114
librsvg-2.so.2
libxml2.so.2

Given that emacs-snapshot-gtk showed antialiased fonts back when it was
tracking Emacs 22 CVS, I really wish they'd enable it once and for all (and
especially since the functionality is already linked in!).
