Hi again,

Thank you for fixing this linking issue.

And I am sorry also for raising this ruckus, but it seems it really needed addressing.  ;)

So far so good with 2.7.4_beta2, but we are now noticing the fonts in Pan (at least) are now drawn with much-less "weight" (I guess that's the right term here).  That is one thing I've noticed over the history of using XQuartz: the font "strokes" of one release is 'thinner' (like now), and another release is 'thicker' (like the immediate previous 2.7.3 was).  Has fontconfig really changed that much with its version included in 2.7.4?  Or has its config option(s) changed during the build, perhaps?

(I have the fontconfig mail-lists [and tons of others] available in my Gmane newsgroup subscriptions, but I wasn't aware what was going on…)

While on the topic of Gmane, I'd like to have the other XQuartz mail-list(s) to be carried here.  I see the -changes list and the one(s) for quartz-wm are not here.  I know how to request them, but I'd like to be sure it would be okay.

Thank you again.
