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.
