Hello,

I upgraded from Debian Jessie to Buster.  I'm using a customized 1.4 branch.  I rebuilt the library and built my application.  I noticed scaling wasn't working.  So I see something about needing USE_XFT for it to work.   I then changed the config.log and found the:

WARNING: could not find the required Xft headers and/or libraries

configure:7725: checking for freetype-config
configure:7758: result: no
configure:7867: WARNING: could not find the required Xft headers and/or libraries.
configure:7869: please install Xft headers and libraries or use 'configure --disable-xft'.
configure:8017: checking for X11/extensions/Xdbe.h
configure:8017: gcc -c    conftest.c >&5
configure:8017: $? = 0
configure:8017: result: yes

So I tried:  apt-get install libxft-dev  (said already installed, so uninstall then install again).

But it still says the Xft headers and/or libraries don't exist.

While in the log built with Jessie I see:

configure:7536: checking for freetype-config
configure:7554: found /usr/bin/freetype-config
configure:7566: result: /usr/bin/freetype-config

configure:7624: result: yes
configure:7624: checking for X11/Xft/Xft.h

Any hint on what I'm supposed to install so scaling will work again?

Thanks!!
