But when running the same application using the -multiwindow switch, fonts are rendered oddly and are difficult to read. Here are some examples: Correct (full screen or rootless): http://codespunk.com/files/upload/x_font.png Incorrect (multiwindow): http://codespunk.com/files/upload/x_font_mw.png I prefer running as multiwindow because each application has its own unique window for focus. In rootless mode all of the X windows come to the front when one is selected. Does anyone know why fonts are rendering differently?
