Dear Werner and the wider freetype mailing list,

I just wanted to say that I fixed my OSX build environment by reinstalling

I have updated my StackOverflow question with this solution, so that others
with the same issue can resolve it without resorting to the mailing list.

Thank you for your patience,

Jeff.
