Re: FreeType upgrade => apps linked against libttf.so need to be rebuilt

["Joseph E. Sacco, Ph.D." <joseph_sacco comcast net>]

FreeType-2.1.x contains libttf.so as well as libfreetype.so. See Fedora
4 & 5. 


In version 2.2.x, the true type font stuff has been incorporated into
libfreetype and libttf.so has been eliminated.
