-DESCRIPTION = "FreeType-based font drawing library for X"
+SUMMARY = "XFt: X FreeType libary"
+
+DESCRIPTION = "Xft was designed to provide good support for scalable \
+fonts, and to do so efficiently. Unlike the core fonts system, it \
+supports features such as anti-aliasing and sub-pixel rasterisation. \
+Perhaps more importantly, it gives applications full control over the \
+way glyphs are rendered, making fine typesetting and WYSIWIG display \
+possible. Finally, it allows applications to use fonts that are not \
+installed system-wide for displaying documents with embedded fonts. Xft \
+is not compatible with the core fonts system: usage of Xft requires \
+fairly extensive changes to toolkits (user-interface libraries)."
