libX11, and the X Render extension to display anti-aliased text.

Xft version 2.1 was the first stand alone release of Xft, a library that
|
|
Packit |
b749da |
connects X applications with the FreeType font rasterization library. Xft
|
|
Packit |
b749da |
uses fontconfig to locate fonts so it has no configuration files.
