There are the freetype packages I have installed:
$ rpm -qa |grep freetype
freetype2-devel-2.0.9-3mdk
freetype-1.3.1-17mdk
freetype2-2.0.9-3mdk
freetype-tools-1.3.1-17mdk
These are the modules X11 is loading:
Section "Module"
Load "dbe" # Double-Buffering Extension
Load "v4l" # Video for Linux
Load "extmod"
Load "type1"
Load "freetype"
Load "glx" # 3D layer
Load "dri" # direct rendering
EndSection
So it looks like freetype is ok. Isn't it odd that freetype fonts work
fine with the root user and not with my local user? I created a new
local user and it appears to be having the same problems.
