I like the fontconfig description model, and it looks fairly
compatible with Windows, too.
There was one comment early in the Xft thread that they didn't think
that "the X world" outside of XFree86 is heading in the direction of
Xft.
Does anybody know what other X servers support Xrender? (The rest of
Xft is client-side, AFAIK. fontconfig itself is.)
