Xft does optimize this case, but only because it's essentially identical to the common case of using the same font at multiple sizes. The internal FreeType face object is shared among the related XftFont objects. Avoiding the extra XftFont and XGlyphSet overhead would be rather complicated -- a single XGlyphSet would have to hold glyphs unique only in their transformation, which would complicate naming of those glyphs quite a bit.
