I don't think it will be a hard dependency - if freetype2 is not available, just use the builtin font or a pcf based font. """
Well I didn't mean hard as in 'it would not work at all'. But since the result of the library's absence would be highly noticeable visual degradation (drop from anti-aliased proportional font to non-proportional) which is highly undesirable, it could be considered a "hard" dependency just as well. -Jiri
