			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
Xorg mailing list:

Please submit bug reports to the Xorg bugzilla:
