I missunderstood your sentence.

I was thinking that you would like to detect if a program 
creates a XFT fontset or a normal X fonset and then use
respective drawing functions.

I've downloaded the source code. I can't find info about
XftDrawStringUtf8 in the man page. But it seems that there
is no converter and it seem that they don't to use iconv.

So I don't know. It's also unclear to me if Xft can use type1 and bdf
fonts ???
