mgp is not built with freetype support. Now that freetype is in rawhide, presumably it should be. However rebuilding it doesnt find freetype, due to bug in configure, patch is something like below. --- configure.orig Thu Mar 18 16:27:14 1999 +++ configure Thu Mar 18 16:27:37 1999 @@ -1020,7 +1020,7 @@ if test "$mgp_use_freetype" = "yes"; then echo $ac_n "checking for freetype library/header""... $ac_c" 1>&6 echo "configure:1023: checking for freetype library/header" >&5 - for dir in /usr/local/freetype /usr/local; do + for dir in /usr/local/freetype /usr/local /usr; do ac_cv_ft_lib=no ac_cv_ft_include=no if test -d $dir/lib -a -f $dir/lib/libttf.so; then
