You should be aware that the version of Xft that you are using is no longer
in development and has been replaced (in XFree86 CVS) with a new version.
I no longer have easy access to the old library which makes it difficult
for me to diagnose the problem you are having.

A version of this newer library which can be built for XFree86 4.1 and 
later can be found at http://keithp.com/fonts

Release candidate 3 was packed up today as

One possible source of problems with the older library is in encoding 
vectors.  If your font doesn't support the encoding vector expected by the 
application (probably Unicode), then the older Xft would be unable to load 
the font.

Note that the new version of Xft doesn't even pretend to support 
non-Unicode encodings, so you'll need to provide a Unicode mapping for Xft 
to locate any glyphs in the font.
