As you know, I am all in favor of upgrading to a newer freetype2 version, but there are a few things that have to be discussed and decided first.
Hmm, looks like this upgrade is far from ready to go.
Here is one more point that was detected in a different context recently:
The freetype2.dylibs in recent X11 versions, starting from Fink's xfree-4.0 and xorg packages up to some unmentionable ones, are linked to the CoreServices and ApplicationServices Frameworks and seem to pretend that they understand some Apple font formats that other versions of freetype don't.
I have no idea if this is really something that is used by applications at all, but I guess it wouldn't have been introduced if it were not somehow useful. The thing is that the freetype (as opposed to X11) releases of freetype, including freetype2-2.1.9, do not have this functionality, whatever it is. I don't know if there are compile options to include them, but anyway this could be a reason for not completely replacing the system or X11 freetype libraries by our own ones.
