So, we've had a report that building Ghostscript against Freetype 2.10.3 fails because FT_CALLBACK_DEF() has been moved to internal use only.
Ghostcript supplies callbacks for memory management (i.e. FT_MemoryRec) and we used FT_CALLBACK_DEF() for those, which seemed logical when defining callbacks! Is there now an alternative way to do that? Or should we just switch to explicitly declaring them static?
