Anyway - just for a lark - I installed Ximian's RH7.3 gnome2 desktop
snapshot and replaced pango with pango-HEAD; had to recompile
libgdk-x11-2.0.so as it picked up libXft.so.1 from somewhere (Q: why not
just libpangoxft-1.0.so? Shared library dependencies never fail to
confuse...) and just like RedHat Limbo...Gnome2 with fontconfig and
Xft2. $Amazing$

While I am on a mission to purge my system of Xft1 apps I tried
qt3.diff on qt-x11-3.0.5 - some not so small rejects there but they do
not seem too terrible. $Amazing^2$

Next, mozilla-1.1b works well with Keith's patch and external
fontconfig/Xft2 except for the FC_LANG_* macros which I had
to lift from an earlier fontconfig.h.

Cheers
Richard
