No. Xft is a library build on top of XRender (or pure Xlib if the server doesn't have XRender). fontconfig is a library (no special link with X) that, in short, helps managing fonts. Its functionality was mixed with the old Xft1, and it has been splitted in the new release. RedHat has just been the first distro upgrading to fontconfig (Owen has been fixing the hell to have everything working for rh8), others will follow. > I believe the management of the font > access in Debian is done (at the > end..) via Defoma (DEbian FOnt MAnager), which, like > I said, doesn't allow the > registration of cp1251 font for abiword (but that > may be defoma-specific issue > anyway;) I guess that defoma is some kind of "meta"-script. There are a lot of them out there, but they're now kind of obsolete. > I'm not complaining about the "hard instalation of > fonts", I mean that not > just me, but all the people I know in the Linux > society here are saying it's.. > impossible :(( > I make the fonts visible for Abi (in it's own > directory, the way described in > the docs, and to the X also, by adding the folders > in the XF86Config-4.

If you fill a bug, please specify what version are you using (not only the number, but also the compilation options used).
