>Description:

I removed all my pkgs and most (obscure) PREFER_xxx settings from my 
/etc/mk.conf, leaving only

# freetype2 bytecode interpreter
MKTTINTERP=YES

in it. I then rebuild gnome and all the pkgs I used to have around. After
that, my font rendering became awfull. Where awfull menans unbearable bad.
Unreadable. Glyphs are at wrong positions in some fonts, or don't fit their
bounding box. Smoothing looks *very* bad.

Checking with gnome-font-properties I noticed that my resolution (125x125 dpi,
which is (a) correct and (b) what xdpyinfo reports for the root window) was
not picked up correctly - gnome used 95 dpi. Clicking "Details" I see that it
correctly noticed I'm using a LCD (notebook) so picked sub pixel positioning.
In that dialogue, the example displays are fine. But an ordinary 
gnome-terminal is unusable.

I have no ideas what goes wrong. Here is a list of the pkgs involved, I don't
know which ones are font related and what base system or X libraries are 
involved beyound this, but I did only rebuild pkgs, base and X are unchanged.
