Font look a little diffrent with 2.1.9 than with the freetype 2.1.7 but
I like them.
But the problem is that de freetype people have changed some api's,
somewhere in 2.1.8 and 2.1.9.

Gnome and Xorg build fine with the new freetype but mozilla doesn't,
because it uses those changed api's. See: 
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=234035

With the patch in the bugreport mozilla build past the problem, but it
breaks later on. From a quick look its the same api changes.
