That's good to hear.

But not for my X server. I'm not worrying very much, but I'd like to
have that functionality one of these days. If it means I'll have to
learn how to use DPS and actually implement it, that's fine.

In all the discussions I've read on comp.windows.x people gave many reasons
why anti-aliasing can't be implemented in some way and your post is the
first I've seen which actually describes how it will be added. It won't
work for me, so I suppose I'll have to do something else to get it.
