It's probably because no one sane uses Xft directly nowadays. Xft alone is not
sufficient to display modern text, you need a shaper such as pango (directly
or via cairo) or harfbuzz to process properly modern fonts, Xft will let you
read glyphs in truetype fonts but won't know how to position them properly.
