Ok, another thing not mentioned is that libfxt does not actually have this
behaviour at the moment. And looking at how this is done, I suspect the
patch doesn't work very well because it is simply wrong - I don't think
libxft is the right place to implement font-scaling hacks - if freetype
can't do the scaling, then the correct place for this would be freetype,
and then existing code won't get broken by it, either.
I think fixing the original patch to work better is altogether the better
approach - certainly beats every libxft user because the api has changed
in incompatible ways.
