   |  magicpoint's configure appears to look for your libttf.
 
 It once used to simply include everything without need for any special
 configuration - the TTF stuff is actually pretty important, since at the
 sizes of fonts used by typical presentations, most of the other fonts
 look pretty terrible.
 
   |  With the pkgsrc package attempt building with the freetype support. See:
   |  
   |     make options
 
 Yes, I know, I saw when that was added, and sent an e-mail to whoever it
 was who did that (I have long forgotten) indicating that they could close
 this PR - the options stuff (while not as good as simply doing the right
 thing) is certainly adequate.   I'd suggest that TTF should be the default
 though.
