If found Xft[1] and used it.

This shouldn't be necessary as it works 'out of the box' with FCPackage installed from source.

That would be pointing to a directory called: "/usr/include/Xft2/".  I think that you only would 
need: "-I/usr/include" which is redundant.

Basically, this is simple, Qt needs to find:

	X11/Xft/XftFreetype.h
	X11/Xft/Xft.h

	libXft.so -> libXft.so.2.0

It needs for the first two to be in:

	/usr/X11R6/include

It needs for that: "Xft.h" to be the correct version -- the one that comes with Xft2.

It needs the library to be in /usr/X11R6/lib

You need to be sure that there isn't another: "libXft.so" somewhere on the system.

So, three links made and possibly one link removed should do it.

I presume that FreeType2 is in: "/usr/" so that is no problem.
