xlib xft antialiased fonts in c

hey!

is there a good howto with examples on using xft antialiased and colored
fonts in xlib with c?

i have http://keithp.com/~keithp/render/Xft.tutorial, but some examples
would be nice too ...

the following gives me black font:

#include <X11/Xlib.h>
#include <X11/Xft/Xft.h>
[...]

struct {
GC blue;
GC gray;
} gc; /* grafical contexts */
XftFont *xftfont;
XftDraw *draw;
XftColor color;
char *msg = "789,34 £ |@~½¾²³";
[...]

xftfont = XftFontOpen(dpy, scr,
XFT_FAMILY, XftTypeString, "dejavuserifcondensed",
XFT_SIZE, XftTypeDouble, 98.0,
NULL);

/* Set the color to black */
color.color.red = 0;
color.color.green = 0;
color.color.blue = 0;
color.color.alpha = 0xffff; //USHRT_MAX;

draw = XftDrawCreate(dpy, win, DefaultVisual(dpy, scr), cmap);

but how do i get i.e. something like

XAllocNamedColor(dpy, cmap, "#4c7899", &blue, &blue)

for the xft fonts?

thank you in advance
