+.SH NAME
+ XFT \- X FreeType interface library
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B Xft
+is a simple library designed to interface the FreeType rasterizer with the X
+Rendering Extension. This manual page barely scratches the surface of this
+library.
+
+.SH DATATYPES
+
+.B XftPattern
+holds a set of names with associated value lists; each name refers to a
+property of a font. XftPatterns are used as inputs to the matching code as
+well as holding information about specific fonts.
+
+.B XftFont
+contains general font metrics and a pointer to either the core XFontStruct
+data or a structure holding FreeType and X Render Extension data.
+
+.B XftFontStruct
+contains information about FreeType fonts used with the X Render Extension.
+
+.B XftFontSet
+contains a list of XftPatterns. Internally Xft uses this data structure to
+hold sets of fonts. Externally, Xft returns the results of listing fonts in
+this format.
+
+.B XftObjectSet
+holds a set of names and is used to specify which fields from fonts are
+placed in the the list of returned patterns when listing fonts.
+
+.B XftDraw
+is an opaque object which holds information used to render to an X drawable
+using either core protocol or the X Rendering extension.
+
+.SH FUNCTIONS
+.nf
+XftFont *
+XftFontOpen (Display *dpy, int screen, ...);
+.fi
+.B XftFontOpen
+takes a list of pattern elements of the form (field, type, value) terminated
+with a 0, matches that pattern against the available fonts and opens the
+matching font.
+.PP
+Example:
+.br
+ font = XftFontOpen (dpy, scr,
+ XFT_FAMILY, XftTypeString, "charter",
+ XFT_SIZE, XftTypeDouble, 12.0);
+.PP
+This opens the charter font at 12 points. The point size is automatically
+converted to the correct pixel size based on the resolution of the monitor.
+.PP
+.nf
+void
+XftTextExtents8 (Display *dpy,
+ XftFont *font,
+ unsigned char *string,
+ int len,
+ XGlyphInfo *extents);
+.fi
+.B XftTextExtents8
+computes the pixel extents of "string" when drawn with "font".
+.PP
+.nf
+XftDraw *
+XftDrawCreate (Display *dpy,
+ Drawable drawable,
+ Visual *visual,
+ Colormap colormap);
+.fi
+.B XtDrawCreate
+creates a structure that can be used to render text and rectangles
+to the screen.
+.PP
+.nf
+void
+XftDrawString8 (XftDraw *d,
+ XRenderColor *color,
+ XftFont *font,
+ int x,
+ int y,
+ unsigned char *string,
+ int len);
+.fi
+.B XftDrawString8
+draws "string" using "font" in "color" at "x, y".
+.PP
+.nf
+void
+XftDrawRect (XftDraw *d,
+ XRenderColor *color,
+ int x,
+ int y,
+ unsigned int width,
+ unsigned int height);
+.fi
+.B XftDrawRect
+fills a solid rectangle in the specified color.
+.SH XftConfig
+The
+.B XftConfig
+file contains configuration information for the Xft library consisting of
+directories to look at for font information as well as instructions on
+editing program specified font patterns before attempting to match the
+available fonts.
+.PP
+.nf
+config : "dir" STRING
+ | "include" STRING
+ | "includeif" STRING
+ | "match" tests "edit" edits
+ ;
+test : qual FIELD-NAME COMPARE CONSTANT
+ ;
+qual : "any"
+ | "all"
+ ;
+edit : FIELD-NAME ASSIGN expr SEMI
+ ;
+.fi
+.PP
+STRINGs are double-quote delimited. FIELD-NAMEs are identifiers,
+ASSIGN is one of "=", "+=" or "=+". expr can contain the usual
+arithmetic operators and can include FIELD-NAMEs.
+.PP
+"dir" adds a directory to the list of places Xft will look for fonts.
+There is no particular order implied by the list; Xft treats all fonts about
+the same.
+.PP
+"include" and "includeif" cause Xft to load more configuration parameters
+from the indicated file. "includeif" doesn't elicit a complaint if the file
+doesn't exist. If the file name begins with a '~' character, it refers to a
+path relative to the home directory of the user.
+.PP
+If the tests in a "match" statement all match a user-specified pattern, the
+pattern will be edited with the specified instructions.
+.PP
+Where ASSIGN is "=", the matching value in the pattern will be replaced by
+the given expression. "+="/"=+" will prepend/append a new value to the list
+of values for the indicated field.
+
+.SH RESTRICTIONS
+.B Xft
+will probably change radically in the future; weak attempts will be made to
+retain some level of source-file compatibility.
