We do it here, though we''re not running against a Sun X server. -- albert chin (china@thewrittenword.com)

Getting Xft ready for standalone release won''t be that difficult, but Xrender poses a somewhat more difficult problem as it depends on header files which are also used by the X server half of the extension. If anyone is interested in getting Xft transitioned to automake, please let me know. It already uses autoconf, so part of the work is done. -keith
Hmm.. this may be a short-lived experiment. Does Xft require XFree86? If so -- am I correct that it won''t be possible to get QT compiled with Xft enabled on Sparc/Solairs (with Xsun)?

Will there be no more releases for it standalone or with fontconfig? -- Ciprian Popovici

Ok -- this is probably a very dumb question.. but here goes.. Since fontconfig 2.2 (prereleases) don''t include Xft.. where do I get it from when compiling on Solaris? (Using Solaris 9 U3 which includes Xrender and freetype, but no Xft). Thanks, d
