Umm, it's not easy for me to setup DirectFB/GTK environment soon, so please let me know more detail about your trouble. 1) how many prebuilt libraries in your DirectFB/GTK? a) all are prebuilt by external developer (e.g. some Linux distributors) b) all, except of freetype-2.3.10 c) all, except of previous freetype-2.3.9 & current 2.3.10. d) other combinations 2) how did you update freetype? a) by package manager (apt-get, yum, etc etc), updated unexpectedly b) by package manager, manually specified c) manually installation (e.g. ./configure && make && make install) d) other As far as I know, the text layout engine in GTK (Pango/ HarfBuzz) does not rely any functionalities of FreeType2 for Arabic/Indic text layout, it invokes FreeType2 to translate from Unicode to glyph index, and load a glyph data by glyph index. If these 2 functionalities are broken, I guess, the component glyphs would be wrong already (not contextual layout error). If you can make some screenshots, it's appreciated.
