I second this statement.

Recently I had to install Slackware 10.0 on my new box. By default, Qt 
and GTK2 (so KDE, GNOME and XFce in consequence) use Xft/freetype2 
antialiased fonts -- all my editors was broken, even Vim was compiled 
with GTK2. Unfortunately, simple switching antialiasing for sizes 
smaller than 16pt resulted in ugly looking fonts, no less. Of course, 
freetype was compiled without TrueType hinting, as one may expect from 
software coming from US of A, where "truetype bytecode interpreting" is 
patented. Fortunately for me, this was matter of uncommenting one DEFINE 
and recompilation of freetype2.
