I was already going through the fontconfig site and the links it provides. One thing that still confuses me a bit, however, is the exact relationship between xft2.0 and fontconfig. I'm not planning to develop anything right now, just need to understand xft2.0/fontconfig better. Are they both libraries, and if so, how do they relate to each other? Is xft2.0 a server coded with the fontconfig library? What are they, if both hypotheses above are totally or partially wrong?
