Re: [Freetype] Problems with Mac dfont

[Garrick Meeker]

Also are you building with gcc or Codewarrior?  I think the configure script 
was fixed in 2.1.7 (available on freetype.org but not sourceforge) to enable 
the carbon code necessary to load dfonts.  If you're using Codewarrior I 
think you need to #define TARGET_API_MAC_CARBON.  Last I checked the project 
didn't have this.
