I wonder what you looked at then. This is from configure.in: # # Checks for Xft/XRender # if $have_x && $have_freetype ; then PKG_CHECK_MODULES(XFT, xft >= 2.0.0, have_xft=true, :) fi As you can see, PangoXft is being built if X and FreeType are available and pkg-config is able to locate the Xft library. You will also need to have fontconfig installed for the following check to succeed: PKG_CHECK_MODULES(FONTCONFIG, fontconfig >= 1.0.1, have_fontconfig=true, :) Sven _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
