What system are you on?  How did you configure Emacs?
If Xft requires Xrender at link time it should say so in the pkg-config 
output.  Normally on GNU/Linux, -Xrender is a private dependency, meaning it 
is needed to compile Xft, but linking is done implicitly by the rune time 
linker (do ldd /usr/lib/libXft.so and you can see that there is a dependecy 
there already).
