I guess whether you will see any difference or not depends on what kind
of monitor you use. I am using a 0.20mm 21" Nokia @ 1152x864, and the
difference in fonts is truly stunning.
Before xft, I would alway avoid using Internet Explorer, because it made
Moz "look" so inferior. Now I won't hesitate talking about Moz.
I am using xft-enabled Red Hat rpm. I did have a couple of crashes with
1.2.1. However, since the 1.0 series does not have xft, I am not looking
back.
