I solved it with a backup of libfreetype.so.7*, installing the new XFree with --nodeps, and restoring the .7 versions to X11R6/lib. But now there is a duplicate library libfreetype is both in /usr/lib (from freetype2-2.0.6-1mdk) and in /usr/X11R6/lib (from XFree-libs). I think XFree should be rebuilt to use the standard freetype ?. -- J.A.
