I thought we had decided to disable this support. Did that change?
>From http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2003-09/msg00441.html :
Additionally, I have disabled the experimental Xft support for antialiased
fonts using freetype/fontconfig that was enabled by default in this
release. For details about this choice, see:
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2003-09/msg00348.html
Feedback about this issue is welcomed and should be directed to the
cygwin-xfree mailing list mentioned at the end of this announcement.
And:
Changes:
* configure.in (AC_FIND_XFT): Disable Keith Packard's experimental Xft
support.
Thanks.
