Freetype2 has a long tradition of incompatibility between different 
versions. Fink was therefore forced to keep simultaneously two versions 
of freetype2 around - in addition to the one that comes with X11 and 
whose version is different depending on Apple's version of X11 or xorg 
or xfree86.

You can read some of this via "fink describe freetype2" and "fink 
describe freetype219". Or read the thread on fink-devel
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.os.macosx.fink.devel/10066/focus=10076>
with some of the discussions that led to the current situation.

Currently, Fink's freetype2 is freetype2-2.1.4 (or 2.1.3 on 10.4/stable, 
but 2.1.3 and 2.1.4 are compatible), identical to the version from 
Apple's X11 for OSX 10.4, and freetyp219 is freetype2-2.2.1 (it began 
its life as freetype2-2.1.9, but versions above 2.2.0 are supposed to be 
backward compatible, so it has kept its package name.)

Most packages that need freetype2 can nowadays use freetype-2.2.1, that 
is, the freetype219 package.
