So tell us: how the fsck did you get [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=99215|those fonts] so clean?

I realize you're running experimental and are probably a few revs ahead of me with abiword (I'm 1.0.2, 1.0.2+cvs.2002 in Debian), and I suspect Xft may have been added since.

I've added xft to my system, re-run defoma-reconfigure, and scanned through my config files, and fired up a few spare X sessions. I don't know what I'm missing. But I want it. Badly. Me (or my fonts) are missing the hint.

...what needs to be done for the settings to take hold?

Posting the advice and config files to [link|http://twiki.iwethey.org/|TwikIWeThey] might be useful.</hint>

There's a large part of the pitcher I'm missing. Probably the handle, 'coz I ain't got a grasp on it.

I've updated my repositories such that I'm pulling from stable, unstable, and testing for my packages, but default to testing. Updated from unstable freetype2 and abiword. I've got goodness there. Looks like it's a matter of time as new packages pick up the Xft libraries.

Being that I wanted to see what Galeon had to offer, I considered updating it against unstable...

Hmm... We'll hold off, at least until I'm no longer on 56k.
