What I have done: * reordering #ifdefs in the TextFaceFactory as above * removing the mentioned lines in commonText.in which clear the vars for darwin * in configure, ll. ~10996-11000 the darwin exception also has to be removed * since the freetype lib is installed below /usr/X11/, I had to pass --with-textincludedir=/usr/X11/include/freetype2 as well as --with-add-incdir=/usr/X11/include, this might be combined in the includedir construction/resolution in configure (actually i guess the stuff has to be changed in the source configure.in file, but I didn't cope with that) Would be super if this would get into the CVS version of 1.8 at some time, so that a text-enabled 64bit build works without manually patching the above things.
