I am using CDE as my working environment, and its a very great experience. I am wondering is there any plan to make CDE support turetype font? Or is there any suggestions if I want to do it? Thank you very much for your advice~.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Fonts with XFT has been at the back of my mind for a long time. Motif, the underlying widget toolkit that CDE uses, has support for antialised fonts since version 2.3.
I had a look at this quite recently and was working through how the Window manager could use XFT (or even just the Motif API) for the title bar strings. I got bogged down in APIs needing slightly different things as parameters, it's not unfortunately not a drop-in-replacement.
One of the difficulties will of course be making sure any new code is able to handle both the original X and XFT being both detectable, optional, and configurable for the user.

Great to hear that! Thanks for your great work!!! I will give it a try and update with you if I have any progress.
