Interesting article on using Freetype fonts with linux. Amongst other things it says that Freetype2 should be installed _twice_; in /usr/local and in /usr/X11R6. Does anyone know why?

Perhaps because they don't know what they're doing? X from CVS should handle all of this pretty handily.
Except that X uses an old, and broken implimentation of freetype. Read the README's that come with freetype for the reasoning. X is at fault, not freetype.
