This may be an inappropiate question to be asking you but
it seems the qt3 is built to use xft -- Do I need to install the
Xrender extension to use xft (FreeType)

I have recently switched my development environment
from a SGI base to OSX and have installed Apples' X11 server.
I have also used fink to download and install qt3. All has gone
quite well until I started the X11 app included with Qt called
"designer". The app started but there were no fonts displayed.
All characters appeared as 'quads'. After fiddling around
for a while I started designer and supplied an explicit fn.
This worked. So I assumed something was wrong with xfs.
After checking with xfslsfonts, I found that no xfs server
was running.
I tried to start xfs and it failed complaining of (bad font
path descriptor) for each of the entries in the catalogue
field of the standard X11/fs/config file.
I'm not sure what font the Qt apps are looking for and
I'm not sure how I might substitute an installed font for
the requested one.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
I'm not sure what the problem is with Qt, but xfs is broken in XFree86
4.2.x and Apple's X11. It has been fixed in XFree86 4.3.0 and the fix
will propagate to Apple's X11 when they update to 4.3.0.
