If you were thinking about it, please don't. Keith Packard hasn't finished hacking on fontconfig yet; I see important changes to it in XFree86 CVS almost every day and IMO we should not push this stuff into unstable until it's seen an upstream release. > Note however that my libxft2-dev package will divert parts of xlibs-dev, > because the libxft1 and libxft2 headers conflict.

I might want to bite the bullet and bust out xft altogether. Yes, I realize that will mean a rebuild of all packages that have shlib depends on xlibs for libxft. -- G.
