If i understand properly XFT is part of the XFree86 and Xserver should have Xrender extension. On the Tru64, we don't have either. I like to have XFT, but how? Will in the future Gtk2 support only xft? Will you put us, non Linux, non Intel people out in the cold? :-( I beg you, please put back the --disable-xft feature.
Xft is actually a client side library for font rendering. If the X server supports the Render extension it can be used to accelerate Xft, but it is in no way a requirement.
If you are using a platform that doesn't come with the Xft library, you will need to install it (along with its prerequisites). You can download tarballs from these two sites: http://pdx.freedesktop.org/software/fontconfig/releases/fontconfig-2.2.0.tar.gz
http://freedesktop.org/~xlibs/release/You will need to install fontconfig, renderext, libXrender and libXft. After this, you should be able to compile pango and GTK.
