[For others possibly interested in Slideshow: I've just added an
 "example-show.ss" tutorial to the "texpict" collection.]

Yes. More specifically:

 * An X server that supports the RENDER extension. (Most any recent
   XFree86 supports it. Xsun doesn't in Solaris 2.8, but I heard that
   it does in 2.9.)

 * The Xft and Xrender headers and libraries, plus anything that they
   depend on (which is at least fontconfig and freetype).

When you run `configure' to build MrEd, it will decided whether to
include Xft support (based on whether it can find Xrender and Xft
headers/libraries).
