I can't seem to get xft fonts to work in torsmo. I installed once, realized the fonts are ugly, downloaded xft fonts did the ./configure, make, make install, then tried to reconfigure torsmo with:
./configure --enable-xft
however here's my output:
Code:

What gives?
I did a little looking and I guess ./configure is generated from ./configure.in which has these lines in in:
Code:
dnl
dnl XFT option
dnl
want_xft=no
AC_ARG_ENABLE(xft,
[ --enable-xft enable if you want to use Xft [default=no]],
[want_xft="$enableval"])
It beat's me as to what this does but seeing "--enable-xft" makes me think I'm doing at least something right. Am I making a mistake or is it possible xft is screwed up? Any ideas of what's going wrong?
