The libs returned by freetype-config --libs and pkg-config --libs are different, freetype-config includes also the private zlib, bzip2 and png16 libs while pkg-config returns correctly only -lfreetype. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): freetype-2.5.3-2.fc21
a workaround is applied in freetype-2.5.3-3.fc21
Hi, I've filled an upstream bug for this. You can find it here: https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?41946. Regards Marek
The patch in the bug was accepted by freetype's upstream. I've pushed it to rawhide.
