This article describes how to get antialiased fonts on X except for a given range, and, for this excluded range, force to use the BCI (Byte Code Interpreter) that produces better results for non antialiased fonts.

The guideline has been tested in Gentoo, but may works in other distros.

Summary

You'll do these steps...

• Edit a system file in /etc/fonts.
• Download and save two fonts.conf files in your home.
• Download a third file .Xdefaults in your home again.
