fontconfig is okay, so for libgnomeprint it's not a worry. But it's Xrender
and Xft2 that cause people problems.

Havoc, for what it's worth, GARNOME has integrated all of these into its
build process, and it works seamlessly for most people (except for the
dynamic user font cache generation, which I just can't get to work).
