Quoting xchat 2.0.0 announcement:
* By default, xchat will use Pango to render text. This is usually quite
fast, if you have Pango 1.1 and Xft2 on your system. If you need to use
Pango 1.0, or find text rendering slow, you can use the ./configure switch
--enable-xft, which will bypass Pango. NB: --enable-xft will also remove
some of Pango's nice i18n features, such as multiple fonts and bidi.
If the text is still unbearably slow, disable font smoothing in Gnome2
Font Preferences.
With the actual pango's buildlink2.mk, xchat2 will use, at least, pango
1.2.0, so XFT is useless.
Bump PKGREVISION to 1.
