But how do you gt Pango to build with the Xft backend? Any hints about what Pango is looking for? I have been looking at Pango configure scripts and don't see its test for the Xft backend. Consequently, Pango is not building the pangoxft lib. Thanks.

It won't be sufficient to have Pango installed, you need Pango built with the Xft backend. You can check for it using pkg-config: pkg-config --modversion pangoxft As long as this does not return 1.4.0 or larger you don't need to attempt to configure GTK+.
