If you're an Arch linux user, you can just installlibxft-bgra-git
from the AUR. If you use any other distro (void in my case), followthe instructions below (first install libXft from your distro's
repositories):

git clone https://github.com/uditkarode/libxft-bgracd libxft-bgrash autogen.sh --sysconfdir=/etc --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/mansudo make install

libXft is the client side font rendering library, using libfreetype,libX11, and the X Render extension to display anti-aliased text.

Xft version 2.1 was the first stand alone release of Xft, a library thatconnects X applications with the FreeType font rasterization library. Xftuses fontconfig to locate fonts so it has no configuration files.

Before building Xft you will need to have installed:

• FreeTypehttps://freetype.org/
• Fontconfighttps://fontconfig.org/
• libX11, libXext, & libXrenderhttps://x.org/

All questions regarding this software should be directed at theXorg mailing list:

https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg

The master development code repository can be found at:
