Sebastian Bergmann: Solution to Pango Problem

[John Smith <john smith mscsoftware com>]

Hey Sebastian,

I had this very same problem. Turns out (for me at least) the only way I
could fix it is to copy over the xft stuff provided in the XFree86. The
problem is pango is getting confused between xft1 and xft2. So just copy
the xft2 files like the following:

/usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xft
/usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xft/Xft.h
/usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xft/XftCompat.h
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so.2
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so.2.0


That should fix you right up. Hope this helps.

John
