Two things to remember:

1) Don't use it with Gtk+-2.

Gtk 2 uses Xft1, and you will need to link at the same
time with the two versions of the library.  It's kind
of "ironic", but by now you should choose:  Antialias
in your menu labels or antialias in your AbiWord
documents.

(for the record, I don't use Xft2 just because it's
the latest.  I need the functions to explore the
unicode coverage of the font, and afair they're not
disponible with Xft.  If somebody finds a way to get
insert symbol to work with Xft1 I will backport).

2) It's for STABLE, not for HEAD.

I will update it for head as time permits, but by now
my main target is STABLE.  I will likely roll some
unofficial binaries with Xft/fontconfig support, and I
don't want to wait until the next version of HEAD.

To enable the xft support, you will have to pass

--enable-xft

to configure.

It will try to detect your Xft/fontconf version.  You
need Xft2.

If everything's ok, at the end of the configure stage
you should see something as

Xft support enabled

Cheers,
