Two things to remember:
1) Don't use it with Gtk+-2.
Gtk 2 uses Xft1, and you will need to link at the same
time with the two versions of the library. It's kind
of "ironic", but by now you should choose: Antialias
in your menu labels or antialias in your AbiWord
documents.
(for the record, I don't use Xft2 just because it's
the latest. I need the functions to explore the
unicode coverage of the font, and afair they're not
disponible with Xft. If somebody finds a way to get
insert symbol to work with Xft1 I will backport).
2) It's for STABLE, not for HEAD.
I will update it for head as time permits, but by now
my main target is STABLE. I will likely roll some
unofficial binaries with Xft/fontconfig support, and I
don't want to wait until the next version of HEAD.
To enable the xft support, you will have to pass
--enable-xft
to configure.
It will try to detect your Xft/fontconf version. You
need Xft2.
If everything's ok, at the end of the configure stage
you should see something as
Xft support enabled
Cheers,
