after installing the #836: May 28 13:56:11 snapshot and the X of a few hours previous, libfreetype broke in such a way that only certain fonts would be read, e.g. from the msttcorefonts only Courier New worked (so that running mkfontscale or ttmkfdir on a dir with those fonts creates a fonts.scale listing only the Courier New variants).
It's probably just stupidity on my part, possibly from just installing all of the snapshot when all I really wanted was a kernel with the rather useful sdhc(4)!, so if anyone would like to point out what in particular I've done wrong I'd appreciate that. fwiw, just reverting libfreetype.so.13.1 to an older one unbreaks it, so if anyone else has done the same thing and spent half the day trying to work out what happened to their fonts, there's your answer.
