I've just started fooling with openbox, (and building an rpm package for 
it) but it appears that openbox 2.1.3 doesn't handle the configuration 
for Xft2 properly. 

Version 2.2.1 seems to work. Here is part of the configure output from 
each:

2.1.3:
Building with '-g -O2  -I/usr/X11R6/include -Wall -W' for C++ compiler 
flags.
Building with '  -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11  -lXext' for linker flags.

2.2.1:
Building with ' -I/usr/include/Xft2 -I/usr/include/freetype2 
- -I/usr/X11R6/include   -g -O2  -I/usr/X11R6/include -Wall -W' for C++ 
compiler flags.
Building with '  -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11  -lXext  -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXft2 
- -lfreetype -lXrender -lfontconfig  ' for linker flags.
