emacs-snapshot: statusexplanation |
I just checked the buildlog for current emacs-snapshot package: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/emacs-snapshot/1:20070805-1ubuntu1/+build/374110
According to the buildlog, emacs-snapshot detects the presence of libxft2-dev and uses that. |
sorry, mwolson cleared this with romain:

Nope, it's not true; the Xft code is not and has never been in
mainline. Some third-party 'emacs-snapshot' packages taken from the
XFT_JHD_BRANCH and later from the emacs-unicode-2 branch have
appeared here and there, but Ubuntu's official emacs-snapshot
package has (to the best of my knowledge) always been identical to
mine and thus never supported Xft.
