This may just be my limited perspective, or it may be my upset stomach
talking, but I'm very surprised to see xft seriously suggested in this
mailing list. Xft is (to me) synonymous with the transition of X.org
from something bad but usable into a black box nightmare best left to
distro tools to cope with. Maybe it wasn't so bad for other people,
maybe it got better.
