libXft.so.2 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so.2 (0x40098000)
(grep -i for Ignore CaSe)
Now this tells us it is indeed linking to xft
Then some ldd on the files will show :

Now this is more interesting, and here's how I went about checking
cd /usr/portage/x11-libs/fltk
look inside the fltk-1.1.3.ebuild and youll see :
local myconf
myconf="--enable-shared --enable-static --enable-threads \
--enable-xdbe --enable-xft"
So yes, its enabled. And an option inside the ebuild. (but not a USE
flag)
> 3) If so, how?
change the --enable-xft to --disable-xft
if you want to keep this change over "emerge sync" then find and read
documentation about PORTAGE_OVERLAY and copy it there.
if not, just do
ebuild fltk-1.1.3.ebuild merge
And it will build and install. ldd on the .so and see if it still links
to libXft or not.
hope this helps some in future debugging and digging for help :) (I
figured methodology would help a bit instead of just posting the
answers)
