Hi, after 2 days of compiling www/firefox on my slow Ultra 10 I was horrified
to find out it was built without support for Xft. As a result all fonts look
ugly as hell.

I added the following two lines to my mk.conf and rebuilding firefox again,
hopefully this time support for Xft will be added

PREFER_PKGSRC=yes
MOZILLA_USE_XFT=yes

My question is: why does building of www/firefox on Solaris does not include
Xft support by default? I mean every sane person wants to have antialiased
fonts.
