I had to meddle with the demo a little to get it to work properly on my system, but otherwise everything seems to work quite well. On the weekend I also experimented with building FreeType2 as a DLL (it normally builds as a lib you compile against) and that seems to work as well... though I have to figure out an easy way of creating an export list for the DLL's .def file. Currently I'm just playing around with it and trying to use it in one of my own test programs. As far as the XFree problem goes... I didn't know about that. Is it something "simple" to fix with the newly compiled FreeType?
