How to enable font antialiasing in wdmLogin.
-------------------------------------------

1. You need post-0.80.2 cvs snapshot of WindowMaker for antialiased fonts.

2. Recompile wdm with --enable-aafont and --with-fakehome=<path> options
passed to configure script. <path> in --with-fakehome option should point
to some directory where fontconfig library can create fonts cache file.
It's better to use some empty directory that is safe to expose
(in case there's some nasty bugs hiding in wdm). I usually use /var/run/wdm
as <path> value.

3. Create directory that was passed to --with-fakehome option.

4. Create wdmLogin-config file in directory passed with --with-wdmdir
option. Default value for this option is /usr/local/etc/wdm/.
Put following lines in that file:
{
	aa = yes;
	multibyte = yes;
}
In some encodings multibyte can be safely set to 'no'.

5. Restart wdm. Note: first run after reconfiguration would be slow because
fontconfig will create font cache.
