fluxbox and autialias

Welcome,
I'm testing archlinux on the VirtualBox. I decided to install fluxbox and now I have a problem with ugly fount. Antialias doesn't work. On the .Xresources file I added:
<code>Xft.antialias: 1<code>
On the .xinitrc file I have:
<code>[[ -f ~/.Xresources ]] && xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources
exec startfluxbox<code>
Why antialias doesn't work and how to install fount what I like? Thanks for help.

Re: fluxbox and autialias

First of all, check the default font set in ~/.fluxbox/overlay.
As an example, here you can have mine: http://wklej.org/id/1765666/ - the default font set to Ubuntu and I had no problems with aa under Fluxbox.
If the above fails, you can play around with fontconfig: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Font_configuration ...
