Thanks for the help, that seems to be the problem. If I copy the version
1.7 ft.c into the 1.8 directory and compile all works fine. The problem
seems to be buried deep in the FT libraries. I did have a go compiling
dvipng with -g so I could to use gbx, but I only see the address of
currentfont->face

Interestingly

doesn't work either so I  guess a short term fix would be to try the
version 1.8 load flags and if that fails try the 1.7 load flags!
