Sure they do :-) You don't need to install those libraries. Scroll down to the topic "Replacing libfreetype (optional)" and follow the instructions given. Create a backup folder for the existing libfreetype files, copy them into this backup folder and afterwards replace them with the ones in the tar.gz archive. It is really that simple. I did this before and I did it again today because I finally updated to 10.4.3 after staying with 10.3.9 till friday.
