    try www.rpmfind.net . Just type "xft" into the search box and it'll spit up a number of download sites.

    I think you should be able to install it using URPMI.

    Code:
    uprmi xft
    Or maybe

    Code:
    urpmi xft-devel
    Let us know if that works. You may have to setup URPMI first.
