hi i want draw text with .ttf font in X11, "/var/lib/defoma/fontconfig.d" i must using Xft.h ? Any idea?

Freetype font is a very good library for this type of thing.

for this i must install freetype-2.3.5 ?
which headerfile must included ?

The package freetype2-devel should do it if you're on a RPM distribution, the header, well, #include <ft2build.h> does it for me.

this program that uses #include<ft2build.h>
compile with
gcc exp.c -o exp -L /usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 ?

Original post by z_k this program that uses #include<ft2build.h> compile with gcc exp.c -o exp -L /usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 ?

gcc exp.c -o exp -L /usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 `freetype-config --cflags --libs`

This is the usual way to work with most free/open source software.

Also, you should include:

#include <ft2build.h>#include FT_FREETYPE_H 

As explained here.

FWIW, Xft(3) says:

Xft(3) Xft(3) NAME Xft - X FreeType interface library DESCRIPTION Xft is a simple library designed to interface the FreeType rasterizer with the X Rendering Extension. This manual page barely scratches the surface of this library.

I suspect, therefore, that you'll need to use Xft if you want things like antialiased font rendering. I could be wrong though.

setting font for drawing text in X11 doing with XsetFont() & XLoadQueryfont().....
this function use special font that exists in /usr/etc/X11/font/X11R7/100bpi/ (for exp)
max font size in this file is 24 ,i want draw text with big font size (exp. 70)
i must use Xft ?

for using XftFontOpenName (xdisplay, screen, "sans-11")
which header file must include ?
