Just for the protocol I finally compiled 21.5.19 with XFT
support, however when I started xemacs, the fonts were very
different from the ones I use in the non XFT version (so it
seems that my .Xdefaults file was ignored) and worse they
were very small. Since I already solved my problem, I
discard the XFT version for the moment being.
