Package: worker
Version: 2.18.1-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,
4 years ago an experimental XFT support was added to worker [1].
It's still called "experimental". I've been using self-built worker with
--enable-xft for a week, and it was working normally. Another user said
that he's using it since the beginning ([2], but it's a link to a russian
forum) and didn't find any bugs.

IMHO, if you will build worker with --enable-xft, it will be better, and
many other users will have an opportunity to test it.

Also, there are very few XFT-related bugs (I could find only one memory
leak and one compilation fail), and there is a discussion in the mail
list [3] about removing the "experimental" status of the feature.

Best reagrds,
Krylov Ivan
