To be honest I'm not familiar with Xft - there are so many X font systems to choose from! If the code is simple and there are no added *necessary* dependencies, it *might* be useful. I don't know how many people would use Xft, so perhaps a patch would be better, but I have been asked about it a few times now. Still, I haven't used X long enough to have seen it any other state than its present misery...

This may just be my limited perspective, or it may be my upset stomach talking, but I'm very surprised to see xft seriously suggested in this mailing list. Xft is (to me) synonymous with the transition of X.org from something bad but usable into a black box nightmare best left to distro tools to cope with. Maybe it wasn't so bad for other people, maybe it got better.
