If you can, you should move to Pango instead of raw Xft; the results you
get will be significantly better for languages requiring complex layout.
Martin suggested using SIL's "graphite" as well - but that seems to need
tweaks to Xft?
SIL wants to identify fonts with graphite support; I think owen figured
out what is needed for fontconfig to make that happen before the fonts get
loaded, now all we need is someone to go and write the code.
