If none of the RPMS mentioned in other message work for you: if you are 
installing from tar.gz you really don't need to remove the RPMs.  The 
tar.gz installer will usually put the new version under /usr/local/ 
where it will not confict with the old RPM version.

Also, you might want to use one of the xft contrib builds if you system 
has that capability:
