If you don't have libxft2-dev installed, you won't get Xft2 compiled in.
You should also have the freetype development libraries
(libfreetype6-dev and also libttf-dev for the slight autoconf bug in
2.2.3).  For running the thing, you want to install both libxft2 and
fontconfig (which has the actual Xft2 configuration file
/etc/fonts/fonts.conf).

configure will tell you if finding Xft failed.
