Sean,
I am not sure what you mean by "installed" - installed into
\windows\system32
or installed in the JRE bin directory? But the latter is the only way
its supposed to
work, and the build should take the copy of freetype.dll you provide to
it, and
copy it to that location. At runtime, freetype is treated like any other
JRE provided
DLL, such as awt.dll, net.dll, etc. The difference is only at build
time, since the openjdk
sources don't contain the freetype sources. You need to build it separately.

Hi Volker,
I would like to know have you tried to run gui application with
the build on another
windows machine which doesn't have freetype.dll installed ? I had
built jdk on
windows but found that it can run gui applications in the machine
built it, but cann't
run gui application in machines without freetype installed.

Hi,
I've put together a short description on how to build both, a 64- and
a 32-bit version of OpenJDK 8 on a plain, vanilla WindowsXP 64-bit
operating system using only free (as in free beer) tools:

It seems as if it is not that hard anymore nowadays:)
