reusing your work in full in this regard.
(I always considered the significantly simpler approach being enough:
the user in enabling TWM_USE_XFT voluntarily passes "the point of no
return"; if xft-font problems arise, then these are to be solved.)

Well, that's the point. As you have it, the end user does _not_ in fact decide on TWM_USE_XFT. The distributor does.
