Keith Packard put out a fix for the bitmap font problem in libXft, but I
wanted to make sure it really works for everyone that had problems
previously.  So far, it has passed all my tests (displays
http://gucharmap.sourceforge.net, and all the languages of Google except
Tamil correctly, displays the Korean Mozilla 1.6 start page correctly,
and doesn't crash Galeon or Firefox on any of the previously mentioned
URLs).

If you had font problems with libXft-2.1.5 and freetype2-2.1.7[_1],
please download http://www.marcuscom.com/downloads/patch-xftfreetype.c,
and use it to replace files/patch-xftfreetype.c in libXft-2.1.5_1.  Then
rebuild and reinstall libXft.  Nothing else needs to be rebuilt.  After
reinstalling, restart the application(s) that you want to test.  Thanks.

Joe
