just curious? why have we seperated the xft code and put it under the pango
directory itself? one of the reasons where i think it will be useful is when
people are using xfree86 3.x series but as such pango checks for the
XftConfig file which will be present only with xfree86 4.1.x and later
versions ( am i right on this?) so why cant we use the Xft library which
come bundled along with xfree86 rather than compiling pango seperately.
since this discussion happened over here i am posting it here, i guess i
should take this discussion on the gtk development list.
regards
bharat
