Hi Rumen;

I did not know I would have multiple versions on freetype on my system,
thanks for pointing that out.
I did:
emerge -v =media-libs/freetype-1.3.1-r4
and this seemed to work just fine, but the Firefox emerge still fails
with the same error message.
How do I find out which versions of a slotted program are installed? 
Maybe it needs a version different from either of these??  Obviously I'm
grasping at thin air here, but I don't know what else to think at the
moment.
Thanks for you assistance, I'm most appreciative.
Skippy
