Ah.  21.5's manuals are online, I should see what "xft
site:www.xemacs.org" comes up with.

Aidan?  Mike?  You guys were the last to muck with the default list of
fonts to try.

You can suppress (most of) it with (setq xft-debug-level 0).  If you
want to suppress all of it I guess you're going to have to edit the
DEFVAR for xft-debug-level.  It's in vars_of_font_mgr() in
src/font_mgr.c.  This is completely safe for you to edit, as long as
you stick to natural numbers for the value.  You probably don't want
to set it to "4". :-)
