libXft - X FreeType library
|
||
|
|
---------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
libXft is the client side font rendering library, using libfreetype,
|
||
|
|
libX11, and the X Render extension to display anti-aliased text.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Xft version 2.1 was the first stand alone release of Xft, a library that
|
||
|
|
connects X applications with the FreeType font rasterization library. Xft
|
||
|
|
uses fontconfig to locate fonts so it has no configuration files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Before building Xft you will need to have installed:
|
||
|
|
- FreeType https://freetype.org/
|
||
|
|
- Fontconfig https://fontconfig.org/
|
||
|
|
- libX11, libXext, & libXrender https://x.org/
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
