Thanks for the pointer. The WiKi doesn't mention where to obtain the source. Did you get the source from the CVS repository mentioned at http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/XftGnuEmacs, or from somewhere else? There still seem to be some strange oddities with this emacs port. One example is that emacs doesn't correctly calculate the window width when using Xft fonts. -Seb
