OK, from this and the rest I see you all are on top of the issues. My 
plan is to get the GLUT font capabilities working as is just to get my 
project* off the ground, then pull in FGLT on top of FreeType for 
super-duper font support. Freeglut might want to take the same approach, 
to avoid duplicating that substantial effort. Caveat: I have only just 
begun to dig into FGLT/FreeType, so I cannot actually vouch for this 
solution at this point. I did d/l and build FGLT and run against FT2, 
and the demo looks fine and worked with any TrueType font on my system. 
Oh, the demo uses GLUT, btw. I was also impressed to see FGLT comes with 
Mac OS X ProjectBuilder files.

I am just looking at the glut stroke stuff now.

* My project is a portable GUI for Common Lisp, based on Glut-- Apple's 
Glut on OS X, Freeglut elsewhere. So I need full support of fonts, 
including anti-aliased.
