Hi, Reading RELNOTES for XFree86-4.1.0 revealed that they are now providing a way to easily use external freetype2 library instead of one buindled with XFree86. Could you please reconsider your last decision to use buindled freetype, which if my memory serves was mainly due to headache associated with extending and maintaining already large XFree86 patchset. Thank you! -Maxim --- xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/doc --- 4.11.2 FreeType support in Xft XFree86 4.1.0 includes sources for FreeType version 2.0.1, and, by default, they are built and installed automatically. If you prefer, you can configure XFree86 4.1.0 to use an existing Freetype2 installation by telling XFree86 not to build the internal copy and indicating where that external version has been installed. Edit (or create) con- fig/cf/host.def to include: o #define BuildFreetype2Library NO o #define Freetype2Dir /usr/local Note that XFree86 assumes you'll be using a release FreeType no older than version 2.0.1. Early FreeType version 2 releases used a different header file installation and aren't compatible with XFree86. Instructions for build- ing and installing FreeType can be found in the INSTALL file included with the FreeType release.
