Take a look at

    www.mail-archive.com/render at xfree86.org/msg00131.html

probably this helps.  In "production code" check if XftDrawCreate() 
returned a null pointer.

In front of the application you can test if Xft is available at all:

     if ((FcTrue == XftInit(0)) && (FcTrue == XftInitFtLibrary())) {
         ...
     }
