I never had jagged fonts with the standard xfce in extras and normal CentOS using the liberation fonts and the standard freetype from centos. I was using the same fonts I used in Gnome.
Maybe I am missing something, why did you need to rebuild freetype?
Are you using the xfce from centos 5 extras?
Here is a list of the relevant fonts I have installed:
bitstream-vera-fonts-1.10-7 liberation-fonts-1.0-1.el5 libXfont-1.2.2-1.0.3.el5_1 libXfontcache-1.0.2-3.1 xorg-x11-fonts-100dpi-7.1-2.1.el5 xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi-7.1-2.1.el5 xorg-x11-fonts-base-7.1-2.1.el5 xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-100dpi-7.1-2.1.el5 xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi-7.1-2.1.el5 xorg-x11-fonts-misc-7.1-2.1.el5 xorg-x11-fonts-truetype-7.1-2.1.el5 xorg-x11-fonts-Type1-7.1-2.1.el5 xorg-x11-font-utils-7.1-2
After you make sure liberation-fonts and bitstream-vera-fonts are installed, try making "Bitstream Vera Sans" or "Liberation Sans" your application font.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes
I installed from extras. I rebuilt freetype to enable BCI. I'm going to reload the machine and then install your suggested fonts and MS core fonts and see how it goes. It's easier to start fresh now since I've messed with so many things :) Will follow up when I am done.
Thanks
