These are my settings... and I am not getting any troubles compiling...
I am using the same version of xfree86 which is where xft information is being 
pulled from...

Is the package x11-libs/xft installed on your system?

[Comment 2 Jared H. Hudson (RETIRED) 2003-01-05 03:10:16 UTC]

Yes, xft-2.0.1-r1 is installed

xft is defined by virtual/xft and virtual/xft is a dependency of:
pango-1.1.3 and pango-1.2.0 which is a dependency of anyone running a gtk/gnome
system with ~x86, and since there's talk about putting xft into 1.4 proper,
then this will soon become a problem for everyone, and not just ~x86 users.

[Comment 3 Nick Hadaway 2003-01-13 20:56:50 UTC]

fltk-1.1.2-r1 has code to get around xft compatibility.  the code within fltk-1.1.2 for xft is compatible with xfree release implemntation, but our updated xft ebuild isn't compatible.
