Did I mention that Xft opens every font when starting any application?
As Knuth says, first make it work, then make it fast. If you're already
seeing a performance problem, I'll go build a simple cache. Should take a
couple of hours, then Xft won't touch any disk files (except to stat them).

Yes there is, you send the rendering requests and then you change a
property -- when the property notify event arrives, you know the rendering
is done.
