of Freetype
a lot was done to support OSX fonts, and also the interpretation of 
exotic characters

I had the silly idea that only linux would benefit from the Freetype 
integration in CVS. ;-)

Not a problem. I clearly understand your arguments and I recall 
Jesterking complaining
about these issues too. And to be honest, I love the Freetype library.
