Yup. When I looked at this over the summer, Qt doesn't enable Xft
support unless the display supports the RENDER extension; if I recall
correctly, this is because it uses RENDER to draw the text itself,
rather than getting Xft to do it. (I did try to fix this, and
succeeded in getting KDE applications to draw a nicely anti-aliased
crash dialog on a non-RENDER-capable display before giving up...)
