Victory! Turns out that libfreetype in X11 has a bug with mac os 10.4.11. I found out how to fix it on http://forums.macosxhints.com/archive/index.php/t-98792.html . The new libfreetype, once in the right spot and called libfreetype.6.dylib seems to work. Thanks, Chris, for helping me. From: pra...@ho... To: mat...@li...
