This version was latest known as GNU Emacs 23.0.60 – the "other" GNU
Emacs, version 23.0.50, has been upgraded on the weekend to version
23.0.60, so there is, hopefully, only one available via CVS.
You have three choices to run with font-backend active (you can also
invoke GNU Emacs with --disable-font-backend), with any (*one*) of
these three X resources:
Emacs.FontBackend: x
Emacs.FontBackend: xft
Emacs.FontBackend: ftx
First one does nothing (for me, maybe more in X11R7.x), second one
does font-aliasing via libXft, third one does this via libfreetype2
and when compiled *without* libXft.
The fonts pop-up menu does not seem to change. It is set somewhere in
ELisp, but it can be extended or substituted by own code. When using
the font-backend you have to make the libfontconfig(2) system (fc-
list, fc-cache) working. This means that you have to put all
directory names with fonts into /etc/fonts/fonts.conf or such (check
with man), and after this you should launch fc-cache, maybe with -v
(erbose), to create the font hash files in the system.
It seems that the common X Logical Font Description format is
accepted as input, either from the command line or from an X
resource. From this some matching font is looked up.

When in doubt, use brute force.
