Xft
X FreeType library
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 http://freetype.org/
fontconfig http://fontconfig.org/
libX11, libXext, & libXrender http://x.org/
All questions regarding this software should be directed at the
