I finally got around to applying the Xft patch for wily and getting it
to build, and it fails with a floating point exception (attempting to
divide by maxtab, which is 0):
markg@siouxsie:~/src/wily/wily-0.13.41/wily$ ./wily
XftFontOpenName('Nimbus Mono L:size=10') -> 0x80edc58
try
rm /tmp/wilymarkg:0.0
/tmp/wilymarkg:0.0: File exists
Floating point exception
The backtrace is:
markg@siouxsie:~/src/wily/wily-0.13.41/wily$ gdb ./wily

I did some digging, and found that the problem seems to stem from
XftTextExtent16 always returning 0 in all members of the XGlyphInfo
struct for all character values from 0 to 255 (I sat there and watched
it by setting appropriate breakpoints and hitting Enter a lot). This
happens in XFontStructtoSubfont in xtbinit.c.
I don't know enough about X and fonts and Xft to be able to understand
why this is. Could someone please give me a nudge in the right
direction?
