shipped with 1.6), however the most recent pango requires 2.0.9 and also uses
this package. As a result you end up with conflicting freetype linkage and
the wrong library version (.8) can get used in further packages which use
pango. Alleviate all of this by requiring >=2.0.9 in here as well
Xft (2.0) provides a client-side font API for X applications. It uses
Fontconfig to select fonts and the X protocol for rendering them. When
available, Xft uses the Render extension to accelerate text drawing.
When Render is not available, Xft uses the core protocol to draw
client-side glyphs. This provides completely compatible support of
client-side fonts for all X servers.
Xft (2.0) hides most of the underlying system details so that developers
can confidently use its API to access client-side fonts in any X
environment.
