Pango's Xft support simply doesn't work with current XFree86 CVS which
has a substantially different version of Xft (version 2) from the one that
Pango expects.

Keith has some patches to get it working, see:

  http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2002-February/msg00321.html

I hope to work on integrating them into Pango CVS within the next few
weeks.

Regards,
                                        Owen
