Good question, I don't think they are really different (functionality
wise) except maybe that the Fink version is probably newer
(considerng that XFree86 4.2.0 is now some months old. But they are
not link compatible:
[localhost:~] maxhorn% otool -L /sw/lib/libfreetype.dylib
/sw/lib/libfreetype.dylib:
/sw/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib (compatibility version 9.0.0,
current version 9.0.0)
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0,
current version 55.0.0)
[localhost:~] maxhorn% [localhost:~] maxhorn% otool -L
/usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.dylib
/usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.dylib:
/usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib (compatibility version
6.2.0, current version 6.2.0)
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0,
current version 55.0.0)
Frankly I am not quite sure why this difference is there. In theory,
our freetype2 should also work w/o X11 (e.g. rendering into a
framebuffer). I am not sure how long the Freetype2 shlibs have been
around in XFree86, and how long in Fink, resp., either, now that I
think about it :-)
