Most definitely your aren't using cairo, you are using the old xlib
backend as can be seen from the class XGFontInfo or by the other
messages you are getting. Even this backend is capable of providing anti
aliased fonts, when asked to. Use:
defaults write NSGlobalDomain GSFontAntiAlias YES
Ok I have checked again the configure stage and seems that the configure script can't find the Xft and freetype includes, so probably the backend even using xlib is not able to use Xft and freetype.
I got these errors using the next configure statement:
 ./configure --enable-server=x11


And this is the output:

The thing is that I have checked and I have all the Xft includes in /usr/include/X11/Xft/
Also the freetype includes are here: /usr/include/freetype2/freetype/

How can I do to instruct the configure script to look for includes in these directories???
thx
