Re: gtk2 antialiasing not working, but qt/kde/openbox antialiasing does

We need things.

Are you running a desktop environment with openbox?
Are you doing anything silly like running gnome-settings-daemon or the xfce/kde ones?
What's your ~/.Xdefaults look like?
What's your ~/.fonts.conf look like?
Are you using any funny font-changing environment variables we should know about?
These don't happen to be ancient GTK apps?  Like GTK1 or older GTK2 apps that don't understand GDK?
When you say "GTK2," do you mean just firefox/thunderbird?  They play by their own rules...

And if you're looking for obvious solutions, there's always the wiki
But your problem doesn't sound inherently obvious.

Re: gtk2 antialiasing not working, but qt/kde/openbox antialiasing does

i'm running openbox by itself.
no settings daemons
i don't have an .Xdefaults

my .fonts.conf

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<match target="font" >
  <edit mode="assign" name="rgba" >
   <const>none</const>
  </edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
  <edit mode="assign" name="hinting" >
   <bool>true</bool>
  </edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
  <edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle" >
   <const>hintmedium</const>
  </edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
  <edit mode="assign" name="antialias" >
   <bool>true</bool>
  </edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>

my .gtkrc-2.0

# -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN DO NOT EDIT
include "/usr/share/themes/Nova-Blue/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"

style "user-font"
{
  font_name="DejaVuSansCondensed 8"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"

include "/home/thursdayknights/.gtkrc.mine"
gtk-icon-theme-name = "Tango"

# -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN DO NOT EDIT

i'm talking about pidgin, thunar, and yes, firefox (firefox and the rest of gtk is antialiased in xfce, though, just not openbox)
