>Description:
When ghostscript-gpl is built WITH_FT_BRIDGE=yes, 
which has also caused problems in
the past with other versions of ghostscript,  it seems
that either the freetype bridge code is defective,
improperly configured/built, or incompatible with the
older version of freetype 2 in our ports system. 

For example, when attempting to view a variety of postscript
files with the recent ghostscript-gpl built from the ports
system WITH_SVGALIB=yes WITH_SHLIB=yes
WITH_FT_BRIDGE=yes on 6.2-Stable i386, gv fails
with: 

While reading gs_fapi.ps:
Error: /undefinedfilename in (FAPIconfig)
Operand stack:
   (gs_fapi.ps)   2   Config   --nostringval--
Execution stack:
   %interp_exit   --nostringval--   --nostringval--

--dict:2/15(G)--
Current allocation mode is global
Last OS error: 2
Current file position is 1974
 
Error: PostScript interpreter failed in main window.
 
and ggv fails with:
 
File is not a valid PostScript document.
 
diff(1) reveals that my gs_fapi.ps is identical with
the most recent corresponding file in the
ghostscript cvs repository at the time I checked, 
with the exception of the $Id line. 
The errors persist after rebuilding all three ports.
