+ 2008-7-2
+
+Xft version 2.1 is the first stand alone release of Xft, a library that

Xft
X FreeType library
- Version 2.1.7
- 2005-3-29
Xft version 2.1 is the first stand alone release of Xft, a library that
connects X applications with the FreeType font rasterization library. Xft
uses fontconfig to locate fonts so it has no configuration files.
-Version 2.1.7
+Before building Xft you will need to have installed:
+ freetype http://freetype.org/
+ fontconfig http://fontconfig.org/
+ libX11, libXext, & libXrender http://x.org/
-Change FC_CHARCELL and FC_MONO interpretation. FC_MONO no longer clips
-glyphs to charcell, you must specify FC_CHARCELL for that.
+All questions regarding this software should be directed at the
+Xorg mailing list:
-Add support for FT_GlyphSlot_Embolden where it exists (which it usually
-doesn't).
+ http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
-Avoid crashing when using FT_Face objects.
+Please submit bug reports to the Xorg bugzilla:
-Version 2.1.6

-Deal with broken FreeType 2.1.7 BDF/PCF loaders by trying both y_ppem/x_ppem
-and width/height values.
+The master development code repository can be found at:
-Version 2.1.5
+ git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/lib/libXft
-Left some #warnings from testing in the 2.1.4 release. Spin again.
+ http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libXft
-Version 2.1.4

-Work with older versions of Fontconfig by using various pattern elements
-only when defined.
+ http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/SubmittingPatches
-Version 2.1.3
+For more information on the git code manager, see:
