Font handling in 23 is all new and supports antialiased fonts. Check the
NEWS file for details.
I found I had to add
Emacs.fontBackend: xft
to my .Xresources file in order to get fonts working correctly.
This is on a Debian testing/unstable box.
Why are you building with lucid rather than the default GTK? Also, why
disable dbus support? Did the output from ./configure give anything
useful?
Given its a new release, I'd be inclined to build just using all
defaults to start with and then see if that works and slowly remove what
you don't want. This is also a good way to see how things have changed
and then enable you to re-evaluate what is not required.
For the last month or so, the commands I've used to build (from CVS) are
./configure prefix=/usr/local
make bootstrap
make install
The font I'm using is -fn "DejaVu Sans Mono-14" and it works very
nicely.
