There are quite a few problems with Xft. Since there's no nice free 
monospaced font out there (at least none that I'm aware of; if you have 
any, please let me know) and Xft can't handle bitmap fonts, konsole looks 
like shit if Xft can't be turned off.

Also, Xft is horribly slow on some graphics hardware (try running Xft with 
a good old Trident VGA card - since hardware acceleration isn't possible, 
watch the CPU load going through the roof when using antialiasing).
