I'm happy to hear that.

As noted previously, the interface and implementation of 2.1.8's cache 
subsystem
have been heavily changed; what I noticed were:

(1) The definition of the structure FTC_ImageTypeRec has been changed.
(2) The number and types of parameters of the function FTC_CMapCache_Lookup
   has been changed.  Surprisingly, the old declaration is still alive in
   ftccmap.h, while the new declaration is given in ftcache.h.  This 
implies
   we aren't allowed to use ftccmap.h, but then we miss the definition of
   FTC_CMAP_BY_ENCODING, and more.
(3) FTC_Manager_Lookup_Size has been abandoned and taken over by
   FTC_Manager_LookupSize.  They take parameters different in numbers and
   types.

So, woking with the current release version (2.1.8) could be a dirty job...
