“I had the idea to implement antialiasing in GTK+ 1.2 since I
was impatient to get a nice desktop without using KDE. After some
hacks, I released this patch designed to make antialiasing in GTK a
reality. After applying the patch, you may have to recompile
Mozilla and/or Nautilus (if you use them), since these tools
manipulates internal Gdk structures messed up with the apply of the
patch. If one of your programs segfaults after applying it, first
try to compile them.”
