Um.. pangoxft is not xft. Its pango using xft. Linking pango and including
its header path is apparently not helpful in building Openbox against xft.
Xft2 is in debian unstable. Probably not in stable. You'll need to build
from sources most likely. And make sure your paths etc are correct. Or just
download some .debs from the unstable pool..

Good luck,
Ben
