This is what it originally said. We canʼt change it now, emacs-28 is
released (and 29 is around the corner).

    ** The Cairo graphics library is now used by default if present.
    '--with-cairo' is now the default, if the appropriate development files
    are found by 'configure'.  Note that building with Cairo means using
    Pango instead of libXFT for font support.  Since Pango 1.44 has
    removed support for bitmapped fonts, this may require you to adjust
    your font settings.
