I already have a patch in Red Hat's RPM to do this, and I'll probably
do this in the official tree sometime soon.
But I don't think it really solves the immediate problem; while I
certainly hope that Sun switches to using Xft sooner rather than
later, a change in font technology and dependencies seems
unlikely and probably unwise for the current release cycle.
VTE works pretty well with Xft. I'd still like to do the simple Pango
font API for projects where emulation of a legacy API is needed.

Owen
