+.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 "HEADER FILE"
+.B #include <X11/Xft/Xft.h>
+.SH CONSTANTS
+.TP
+.B XFT_MAJOR
+is the major version number of
+.BR Xft .
+.TP
+.B XFT_MINOR
+is the minor version number of
+.BR Xft .
+.TP
+.B XFT_REVISION
+is the revision number of
+.BR Xft .
+.TP
+.B XFT_VERSION
+is
+.B XFT_MAJOR
+times 10000 (ten thousand), plus
+.B XFT_MINOR
+times 100, plus
+.BR XFT_REVISION .
+.TP
+.B XftVersion
+is an alias for
+.BR XFT_VERSION .
+.PP
+The following example illustrates how
+.BR Xft 's
+version constants might be used:
+.nf
+ #if (XFT_VERSION >= 20107)
+ (void) puts("Version 2.1.7 or later of the Xft library is in"
+ " use.");
+ #else
+ (void) printf("Insufficient version of Xft (%d.%d.%d) installed;
+ " need at least version 2.1.7.\(rsn", XFT_MAJOR,
