I suspect it is not a package, rather it's a file—precisely file provided by some package.
Looking up libxFt.so.2 in packages.ubuntu.com yield libxft2 package, so install it as follow.
sudo apt-get install libxft2
You can then check the file availability through locate.
:~$ locate libXft.so.2
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXft.so.2
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXft.so.2.3.2
