Font AA in wmii

After trying alot of different DEs I decided to go with wmii, which I like very much.

The only problem I have is that the fonts are not Anti aliased so they look terribly bad.
Googled and came up with nothing, so I need your help!

You really need to be more specific...
which fonts for one? and where do they get "drawn"?

I guess you use the wrong keywords.

Rasi: Following what was on the page, I added a .fonts.conf in my home directory. Rebooted and did startx. And now it looks the same.
N30N: Where should I add that, sorry but I haven't used linux that much and am not familiar to messing with X.

EDIT: now after installing bitfonts(trying out kdemod) I get AA fonts in firefox. This is enough for me
