Wow, this fixed the issue I had with accented characters I'm facing
since long ago:

https://lists.ibiblio.org/sympa/arc/sm-discuss/2013-January/021337.html

However changing libx11, and all spells depending on it, included
dynamic link dependencies, takes quiet a while.  But the effort not
only helped me solving the accented chars on rxvt-unicode with
terminus fonts.  It also helped me realized while recompiling the
bunch of spells, that there were more spells broken with the new
freetype2 version.  Then I went to recompile all spells dependent on
freetype2, which I didn't recompile before given the libx11 effort.
To my surprise, there were still another few broken.

So this was really useful.
