This was two years ago, and while there does seem to have been some Xft
commits since then, it seems pretty lethargic.

So I think the conclusion here is that we probably don't want to expand
upon Emacs Xft capabilities in-core, so I'm closing this bug report.
But packaging this up as an ELPA package might be useful for somebody.
