GTK apps have no AA

Yeah its been bugging me for a while. Gimp and gparted didnt have any AA but swiftweasel was looking fine so i thought it was a minor problem. But i just upgraded swiftweasel to 3 and the fonts are terrible. If i can get AA in gimp and gparted that would be a bonus really.

Heres what i got in my .fonts.conf

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="rgba" >
<const>rgb</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>hintfull</const>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="antialias" >
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>

You may have to modify the AA setting system-wide. Try putting:

<match target="font" >
  <edit mode="assign" name="antialias" >
   <bool>true</bool>
  </edit>
</match>

into /etc/fonts/fonts.conf.

It didnt work. After i put that in, i lost all AA. Everything looked monstrous.

Some of the sections of the Fonts wiki article should help you, unless you have already tried them.
