libXaw3dXft is an extended version of libXaw3d, developed as part of xpaint with support for UTF-8 input and UTF-8 encoding of text, and rendering text with the FreeType library and TrueType fonts. It should be mostly compatible with the original Xaw3d library, except for font management: everything using the old X11 core font routines should be replaced by their FreeType equivalents.
