I am struggling to get GTK1 apps going (gnucash, gabber ...) 

extract from /etc/X11/XftConfig


dir "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
dir "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType"
dir "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-bitstream-vera"
dir "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType"
dir "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-bitstream-vera"
                                                                                ...

match edit rgba=rgb


#end of config

I have run the following command:

export GDK_USE_XFT=1

I have the right modules in my XF86Config-4

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
