Cairo support depends on the Cairo library (http://cairographics.org).
-The Xft backend uses version 2 of Xft. Version 2 of Xft is available
-from http://xlibs.freedesktop.org/release/. Along with Xft, you'll
-need to install its dependency fontconfig, and possibly also the
-Xrender library, if that doesn't come with your system. Both of these
-libraries are available from the same place as fontconfig.
+The supported font backend for X in Pango-1.8 is the Xft backend
+which uses version 2 of the Xft library to manage client
+side fonts. Version 2 of Xft is available from
+http://xlibs.freedesktop.org/release/.
+You'll need the libXft package, and possibly the libXrender and
+renderext packages as well. You'll also need fontconfig (see below.)
Note that an earlier version of Xft is shipped with version
of XFree86 up to 4.2. This version does not work with Pango-1.8;
