Thanks for the pointer.  The WiKi doesn't mention where to obtain the 
source.  Did you get the source from the CVS repository mentioned at 
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/XftGnuEmacs, or from somewhere else?

There still seem to be some strange oddities with this emacs port.  One 
example is that emacs doesn't correctly calculate the window width when 
using Xft fonts.
