+** Cairo graphics library is now used by default if found.
 '--with-cairo' is now the default, if the appropriate development files
 are found by 'configure'.  Note that building with Cairo means using
 Pango instead of libXFT for font support.  Since Pango 1.44 has
 removed support for bitmapped fonts, this may require you to adjust
 your font settings.
 
-Note also that 'FontBackend' settings in ".Xdefaults" or ".Xresources",
-or 'font-backend' frame parameter settings in your init files, may need
-to be adjusted, as 'xft' is no longer a valid backend when using
-Cairo.  Use 'ftcrhb' if your Emacs was built with HarfBuzz support,
-and 'ftcr' otherwise.  You can determine this by checking
-'system-configuration-features'.  The 'ftcr' backend will still be
-available when HarfBuzz is supported, but will not be used by default.
-We strongly recommend building with HarBuzz support. 'x' is still a
-valid backend.
