AW: [gentoo-dev] FreeType in X - why?

["Sebastian Werner" <sebastian@werner-productions.de>]

But xfree-4.1.0 released before freetype-2.0.5. So I think the lib in
the freetype package must be newer. Mhh, I don't know sure... but two
same libs in different version makes no sense. The other way could be to
make a depend-flag in the package which uses this feature like:

'virtual/freetype'

which uses X if activated in make.conf or freetype if X disabled in
make.conf.

Thanks in advance

Sebastian Werner

>From what I understand, the freetype that comes with X is a cvs version
of
freetype that contains certain features that are not (or were not)
available in
the normal library.  After we found this out, we just included X's
freetype and
left it at that.
