  Yes, I think Colin missed my email about it. But I said him
to use that option to avoid having angry emacs users hating
him, or something like that :-)  I am using XServer and
libraries built from git master in the computers I use
actively, and did not notice the problem in cooker...

  I believe this should be a X Server command line option,
instead of a compile time switch. The "hadcoded" code is:

dix/dixfonts.c:
void
InitFonts (void)
{
    patternCache = MakeFontPatternCache();

#ifdef BUILTIN_FONTS
    BuiltinRegisterFpeFunctions();
#else
    FontFileRegisterFpeFunctions();
    fs_register_fpe_functions();
#endif
}

and BUILTIN_FONTS is defined by default, and when it is
defined, only the "fixed" font will be available. But
there are still several applications that were not
updated to use Xft, and require more then just fixed...
