The package is called libXft-2.1.12-i486.tgz.  The only description given 
states that it is part of X11.  So, I suspect you haven't done a full 
install of the X packages.

I did an install of Dropline on New Year's Day, and had no trouble getting 
it installed.  However, I did have problems with Orca.  I ended up adding 
the following line to the 
top of /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/orca/chnames.py to get Orca 
working.
# encoding=utf-8

Also, I had previously compiled Festival from source.
