The freetype2 package contains a library to allow XFree86 to properly render TrueType fonts.
Install freetype2 by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr && make && make install |
As with most libraries, there is no configuration to do, save that the library directory i.e. /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib should appear in /etc/ld.so.conf so that ldd can find the shared libraries. After checking that this is the case, /sbin/ldconfig should be run while logged in as root.
The freetype2 package contains libfreetype libraries.
Freetype2 libraries add TrueType font capabilities to XFree86.
