xft gets you font anti-aliasing.

The problem with RH8.0 is that it doesn't use xft, it uses xft2.

To get QT to compile with xft2, you have to include -lfontconfig as well as 
-lxft.

The next problem is that redhat doesn't have a libXft (it has libXft2).

So -- you have two options:

modify all of the makefiles to replace -lxft with -lxft2, or make a symlink in 
your /usr/lib directory such as:
/usr/lib/libXft.so -> /usr/lib/libXft.so.2

I find the second much easier, and it works well for me.
