I have attached a screenshot of Emacs 24.5 running in X-Quartz in a Debian VM. Does anyone know how to configure Emacs to use the better rendered Andale font? For instance, with rendering like the ones Mac Terminal.app, where the edges are smoother.
I selected Andale Mono for the Emacs default font, however the edges are jagged in Emacs while smooth in Terminal.app. I tried Gnome Font viewer and it has jagged edges as well. Is the font hinting not working correctly or is this as expected for Linux?
