Supposing that freetype is good for *something* besides annoying people with incompatible updates, there should be some drawback from this solution. Are there any visible font-rendering glitches?
A more consistent solution would be for mozilla/firefox to use Fink's freetype2, which would then be independent of the X11 version of the day.

I had always thought that Fink was trying to get rid of the separate freetype2 package...
I tried the experimental firefox and didn't notice anything obvious with the fonts--I've not tried it extensively as of yet, though.
I'm not noticing any font problems so far (not sure what I might be looking for, mind). The san serif default font I'm using looks pretty much the same quality as (say) the font for the listings in iTunes...(it may even be the same one: Hei).
In the past I've had trouble getting usable fonts in mozilla, and I have installed all the things like applesystemfonts that I could find in fink. I now have a nice long list to choose from.
