LCD Panel and Gnome and Antialiasing

[Mongrol]

Ok I give up. After lots of faffing around, trying all sorts of settings and much re-emerging and compiling of different components I still can't get decent looking fonts in any Windowmanager.

My display system:

LG L1710B (great panel)
Ati 9800Pro
using DVI output.

Could someone who is using an LCD panel with nice fonts please tell me their settings?

Fontconfig hinting set in local.conf?
USE = smooth?
USE = BCI?
Anything turned off?

Any help very much appreciated.

I think mine fonts look good on my lcd (a Samsung 760Vtft analog input )
here is a screenshot. http://www.xmission.com/~sa/tmp.png
but mabey your idea of good fonts is different.

I stay away from subpixel rendering I dont like it one bit.
I didnt touch /etc/fonts/*, as far as I know Im using defualts...

The only font related USE items are "cjk truetype"

Can you post a screenshot of what your fonts look like?

On reflection, and after a reboot. I suppose they don't look that bad but still nowhere near the quality I would like and miles off what WindowsXP can do. It seems to have font rendering errors, where its trying to anti-a but ends up making the letters look lumpy. And what is it about Xchat? I`ve never seen it render fonts properly even when I had a CRT. Ever since it started using Pango its looked rubbish. Thoughts?
