No flickering in 23. I have not used 22 in some time however, but I
have no recollection of flickering with it.
FWIW, here is my script to build 23 from CVS. Note that I build and use
it locally, so as to not overwrite the current FC6 stable version. Hence
the use of the lisp path configure option, etc.
# watch for line wrap here
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs co -r
emacs-unicode-2 emacs
cd emacs
# Watch for line wrap here
./configure --enable-locallisppath=/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp --with-gtk
--with-xft --enable-font-backend
make bootstrap
make
Then what I do is to create a script called emacs.xft and put it into
~/bin. This contains:
# Watch for line wrap here
/PATH_TO/emacs/src/emacs --enable-font-backend -fn 'Bitstream Vera Sans
Mono' $@
I then set my default text editor, etc. to this script.
HTH,

Thanks, but build fails here on fc6 x86_64:
font.o: In function `Ffont_drive_otf':
/home/nbecker/emacs/src/font.c:3425: undefined reference to `check_otf_features'
