Do you compile XFree86 with Xft2 support (Xft2 was released together with 
FontConfig 2.x) and FontConfig?
Are you sure that XFree86 build uses shared FreeType library (and not its own 
copy)?

I have installed following packages (self-compiled from Mandrake Cooker SRPMs 
on LM 8.2):
$ rpm -qa | grep fontconfig
libfontconfig1-2.1-1mdk
fontconfig-2.1-1mdk
libfontconfig1-devel-2.1-1mdk

$ rpm -qa | grep Xft
libXft2-2.1-2mdk

$ rpm -qa | grep freetype2
freetype2-2.1.3-2mdk
freetype2-devel-2.1.3-2mdk
freetype2-static-devel-2.1.3-2mdk

And I have built XFree86-4.2.99 (4.3.0 branch snapshot) from Rawhide SRPM on 
top of this:
$ rpm -qa | grep XFree86
XFree86-libs-4.2.99.2-0.20021122.2
XFree86-tools-4.2.99.2-0.20021122.2

[ Rawhide is development version of RedHat ]

Most interesting: all this works!.. :-)
But I have to modify XFree86.spec file slightly.

Try Rawhide SRPM. You will get latest XFree86, with enhanced RENDER extension 
(ver 0.8) and X servers supporting anti-aliased trapezoids :-)
