OK, I just applied the patch that make AA fonts the default for the xlib 
backend. All complains about ugly looking fonts should not be send to 
this list, but to Alex personally. :-)

Just as a hint: If your fonts look bad or GNUstep complains that it 
cannot find Helvetica, this is no problem of the xlib backend: Normally 
there is no AA Helvetica font installed. You just will need to use 
different default fonts. I remember sending a mail to this list months 
ago about how to do this and which fonts could be used. But my 
recomendation is simply:

defaults write NSGlobalDomain GSFontAntiAlias NO

Than things will work again as normal.
