Description-en: FreeType-based font drawing library for X (unstripped)
Xft provides a client-side font API for X applications, making the FreeType
font rasterizer available to X clients. Fontconfig is used for font
specification resolution. Where available, the RENDER extension handles
glyph drawing; otherwise, the core X protocol is used.
.
This package provides an unstripped shared object with debugging symbols,
useful to provide a backtrace with symbol names in a debugger; this
facilitates interpretation of core dumps, and aids in finding logic errors in
programs using this library (or the library itself). The library is
installed in /usr/lib/debug and can be used by placing that directory in the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable when the code to be debugged is
executed. Non-programmers will likely have little use for this package, and
should use libxft2 instead.
