Right... Plus you won't be able to use Xft2 support in Pango.

You might want to repeat that. :-)

Hmm. I don't have a woody machine to hand, except for a 486DX with 16MB RAM,
which won't really hack it for testing. We have to work out exactly what
woody wants -> could you do some manual builds with fontconfig to see what
works and what doesn't?

If it's just a matter of installing fontconfig's Xrender, I can get that
going for testing and then put it in the next GARNOME.
