-* GTK+-2.2 can be build either with Pango-1.0 and version 1 of
- the Xft library or Pango-1.2 and version 2 of the Xft library
- (Xft is used to to display anti-aliased fonts) By default, GTK+ and
- Pango are built so that applications will not have explicit dependencies
- on either version of Xft. To make sure that your application will be
- binary compatible with future versions of GTK+:

- --enable-explicit-deps options, since they will cause dependencies
- on the particular version of Xft.
-
- - Do not use Xft version 1 directly in your applications.
+* GTK+-2.3 now requires version 2 of Xft; old fashioned core X
+ fonts are no longer supported.
* There is a bug in the Xft library in XFree86-4.1 and possibly previous

backend. If you want to use Xft fonts, you should upgrade to
- XFree86-4.2.
