jed has support for using xft when with X support (as in xjed).

the process is a little more involved than a ./configure flag, but i've
produced a patch to the current ebuild that simply adds xft rendering based on
USE flag.

people who have anti-aliased desktops (like me) may appreciate it, otherwise,
people with good ole fashion fonts may not like it, hence the need of a USE flag.

alastair,

two things -- would the "truetype" use flag be inappropriate for the patch?  and are you interested in becoming a gentoo developer?

seemant,

"truetype" is much better, as we don't want too many USE flags floating 
around. i just chose "xft" because i couldn't find an appropriate flag in 
use.desc. obviously i didn't look close enough.

as for being a gentoo developer, i'm very interested in helping out more with 
gentoo. tell me where to sign up! ;)
