LibXft can be a problem – this is true in Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger):  
libXft is obviously too old here.

Recent GNU Emacs 23.0.60 is able to use more than one font backend:  
X11, Freetype, Xft:

	!Emacs.FontBackend:	x
	!Emacs.FontBackend:	xft
	!Emacs.FontBackend:	ftx

Since some days you can combine backends:

	Emacs.FontBackend:	x,xft

There can also be another source of problems: libfontconfig. It has  
to be modern, too, to allow to select fonts by certain properties.
