I've just taken a look, and while libXft is available for Solaris 10 
(see http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Lazarus_on_Solaris) it's not 
available for Solaris 8 (SunOS 5.8). It was just an idle query... it 
might turn out to be possible to build it by taking sources of about the 
right age from e.g. Slackware 8.1, but right now I've got too much else 
on my plate to get into this.
